Ingredients
- 8 ounces (227 gms) Good-quality chocolate divided
- ¾ cup (170 gms) Unsalted butter melted
- 1¼ cups Sugar
- 2 Eggs @ room temp
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- ¾ cup Plain flour
- ¼ cup Cocoa powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 - 3 tbsp Nutella optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
- Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half (refer notes), then save the other half for later. Cool the melted chocolate till it's cool enough to touch.
- Mix the butter and the sugar, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes until the mixture has become fluffy and light in color.
- Whisk in the reserved melted chocolate (make sure the chocolate is not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter into a parchment paper-lined square baking dish. (refer notes). If using nutella, add spoonfuls on top of the batter and gently drag it through the batter with a butter knife.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.
- Slice, then serve with a nice scoop of ice cream or cold glass of milk or some whipping cream!
Notes
I used Morde brand dark compound chocolate.
I melted the chocolate using the double boiler method. Place chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water; stir until melted and combined. Remove from heat, and let cool for around 15 mins.
Used an 8-inch square tin for baking.
I baked it for around 25 - 28 mins.
