Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 115g Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/3 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup Bittersweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt Butter and Chocolate – Gently melt unsalted butter and bittersweet chocolate together using a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth and glossy to form a rich chocolate base.
  2. Step 2: Mix Sugar and Eggs – In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and eggs until creamy and slightly thickened, creating the foundation for a soft, fudgy texture.
  3. Step 3: Combine Chocolate Mixture with Eggs – Slowly pour the warm chocolate and butter mixture into the eggs and sugar while stirring continuously to avoid cooking the eggs, blending into a uniform batter.
  4. Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients – Sift in cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt, then gently fold to combine, taking care not to overmix to maintain tenderness.
  5. Step 5: Bake – Pour the batter into a lined baking pan, smooth the surface, and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes until edges are set but the center is slightly underbaked for that classic fudgy finish.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder for richer flavor.
  • Do not overbake; take brownies out while the center is still a bit soft.
  • Use room temperature eggs for better batter blending.
  • Avoid overmixing to prevent cakey texture.
  • Chill brownies before cutting to get cleaner slices.
