Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chunks or chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, letting some of the paper hang over the sides for easy removal.
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and frothy (about 2-3 minutes).
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, whisking constantly until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks or chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake; you want the center to remain fudgy.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the dessert out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
Optional: Lightly dust with powdered sugar before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
