Ingredients

• 150 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 250 milliliters heavy cream
• 100 grams hazelnut butter (or almond butter)
• 50 grams powdered sugar
• 50 grams chopped roasted nuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the chocolate chips and stir until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out moist with a few crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before removing and slicing.

Step 7

For the creamy nut sauce, in a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the hazelnut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Cut the cooled brownies into squares and drizzle generously with the creamy nut sauce. Sprinkle with chopped roasted nuts, if desired, for additional texture and flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your decadent Chocolate Cake Brownies with Creamy Nut Sauce!
