Ingredients

• 300 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 200 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams brown sugar (light or dark)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons fine sea salt
• 100 grams chocolate chips (optional, for extra texture)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving excess on the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is pale and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mixture while whisking continuously to avoid curdling the eggs.

Step 5

Sift the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sea salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter for added texture and bursts of chocolate in every bite.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake; the squares should remain fudgy and dense.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the chocolate squares cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the squares out of the pan.

Step 10

Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat edges. Serve and enjoy!
