Ingredients

Main Ingredients:
- 200 g unsalted butter
- 160 g brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 200 g dark melting chocolate
-
Dry Ingredients:
- 60 g all-purpose flour
- 80 g cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking dish (approx. 20×30 cm or 8×12 inches) with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and dark chocolate together, stirring gently until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Sift this dry mixture into the chocolate mixture and fold gently until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares and serving.
Notes
You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor if desired.
Recipe Tips
- For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
