Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang to easily lift the brownies out later.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate (200 grams) together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Do not overmix, but ensure there are no dry streaks of flour.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks or chips for extra chocolatey goodness.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for chewy brownies).
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
