Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams (1 cup) caster sugar or granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter
- 200 grams (1 and 1/3 cup) dark chocolate (45-70% cocoa), broken into pieces
- 70 grams (1/2 cup) plain flour or all purpose flour
- 20 grams (1/4 cup) cocoa powder, sifted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 75 grams (1/2 cup) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8-inch square or round baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and eggs. Whisk together until creamy and smooth.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and dark chocolate. Heat and stir every 20 seconds until melted and smooth.
- Add melted chocolate and butter to the egg mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Mix in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir gently until a thick brownie batter forms, then fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is shiny and a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean.
- Allow the brownie to cool in the pan, then cut into small squares to serve. Store at room temperature or in the fridge, or freeze for later.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content.
Make sure not to overbake for the fudgy texture—it’s perfect when slightly underbaked in the middle.
These brownies can be topped with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of ice cream for an extra treat.
