Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 60 milliliters liqueur of choice (e.g., Baileys, Kahlúa, Grand Marnier)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the eggs until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract and liqueur, ensuring everything is evenly combined.
Gradually add the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the bowl with the sugar and egg, and whisk until smooth.
Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no large streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the center looks set but still slightly gooey (a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs).
Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Slice into 12 equal squares and serve. These brownies pair perfectly with coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
