Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 340 grams Unsalted butter
- 300 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 400 grams Granulated sugar
- 200 grams Brown sugar
- 5 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (chopped)
- 150 grams Powdered sugar
- 150 grams Unsalted butter (softened, for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter (340 grams) and semi-sweet chocolate chips (300 grams) together, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar (400 grams), brown sugar (200 grams), eggs (5 pieces), and vanilla extract (2 teaspoons) until light and creamy.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour (250 grams), cocoa powder (50 grams), salt (1 teaspoon), and baking powder (1 teaspoon). Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownie layers cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the chocolate frosting, beat the softened butter (150 grams) with powdered sugar (150 grams) using a hand mixer until smooth. Add the cocoa powder (50 grams) and milk (2 tablespoons), and continue mixing until fluffy.
For the ganache, heat the heavy cream (250 ml) in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour the hot cream over the chopped dark chocolate (200 grams) in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth. Allow to cool slightly to thicken.
Assemble the cake by placing one brownie layer on a serving platter and spreading a layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the second and third layers.
Pour the ganache over the top of the assembled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for a decorative finish.
Let the cake set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve slightly chilled or at room temperature.
