Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 95 grams all-purpose flour (maida)
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams semi-sweet chocolate chunks (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the butter and dark chocolate together. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar with the melted butter-chocolate mixture until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
If using chocolate chunks, fold them into the batter at this stage for extra gooeyness.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 8
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not completely clean—this ensures the fudgy texture).
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Step 10
Slice into 9 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
