Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (170g) dark chocolate (semi-sweet or bittersweet)
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips or nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a bowl. Melt them together using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Remove the chocolate mixture from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
- Let the mixture cool slightly. Then, mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Lift them out using the parchment paper and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut the fudgy dark chocolate brownies into squares and enjoy.
Notes
- For the best flavor and texture, use high-quality dark chocolate.
- Avoid overmixing the batter after adding the dry ingredients to prevent tough brownies.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
- A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking can enhance the flavor.
- Consider adding espresso powder or almond extract for flavor variations.
