Ingredients
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams dark chocolate chunks or chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, letting some of the paper hang over the sides for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and frothy (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 4
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, whisking constantly until fully incorporated.
Step 5
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the dark chocolate chunks or chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake; you want the center to remain fudgy.
Step 9
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the dessert out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
Step 10
Optional: Lightly dust with powdered sugar before slicing into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
