Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate chips (nut-free)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 70 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Orange zest
- 60 ml Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate chips and butter together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well combined. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, mixing until just combined.
Add the orange zest, freshly squeezed orange juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the batter is smooth and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Nut-Free Chocolate Orange Delight!
