Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (softened)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.25 cups of granulated sugar, 0.5 cup of light brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture.

Step 4

Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of baking powder.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate.

Step 9

For the frosting, heat 0.5 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over 1 cup of dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Step 10

In a medium bowl, beat together 0.75 cup of powdered sugar and 0.25 cup softened unsalted butter until creamy.

Step 11

Gradually add the chocolate ganache to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

Step 12

Spread the double chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled brownie cake. For extra indulgence, garnish with chocolate shavings or extra chocolate chips, if desired.

Step 13

Slice and serve. Enjoy your Chocolate Brownie Cake with Double Chocolate Frosting!
