Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 75 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a square 20cm (8-inch) baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs together using a whisk or electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract to the sugar and egg mixture and mix well.
Step 5
Gradually stir the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture until fully combined.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, baking powder, and sea salt.
Step 7
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. If desired, sprinkle the top with chili flakes for an extra kick.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 10
Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 small squares or bites.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy the perfect combination of chocolatey richness and a spicy finish!
