Ingredients

  • 200 grams / 7.05 oz Semi-sweet dark chocolate
  • ½ cup / 115 g Butter
  • 1 cup / 200 g Granulated sugar
  • ½ cup / 110 g Brown sugar
  • 3 medium size Eggs
  • ¼ tsp / 1.5 g Salt
  • 1 tsp / 4 g Vanilla essence
  • ½ cup / 62 g All-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup / 22 g Cocoa powder

Instructions

  • First, grease a 7×7-inch dark metal pan with melted butter and line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides.
  • Then preheat your oven at 350℉ (180℃).
  • Now take a little water in a saucepan and bring it to a simmer.
  • In the meantime cut the chocolate into small pieces and place them in a heat resistant bowl.
  • Now place the bowl on top of the simmering water making sure that the bottom of the bowl isn’t touching the water.
  • Then add 1/2 cup of butter to the bowl.
  • Now whisk the chocolate and the butter together until melts.
  • After the chocolate completely melts and becomes smooth, take it off the heat and let it cool.
  • In the meantime, in a separate bowl, take both the sugar.
  • Now add 1 egg at a time and mix properly using a hand whisk.
  • When the mixture is a little creamy add the salt, the vanilla essence, and the cooled chocolate and butter mixture.
  • Mix everything well. The batter will have a thicker consistency.
  • Finally, sift the flour and the cocoa powder into the bowl and carefully fold them into the mixture using a spatula.
  • Now pour the batter into the prepared baking pan then gently shake and tap the tin couple of times to spread the batter evenly.
  • Bake it in preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
  • When your brownie is baked take it out of the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes.
  • Now slice them into 9 squares and enjoy your warm fudgy brownies.

Notes

You can also make these brownies without an oven. For that preheat a heavy bottomed pan on medium heat with a small rack or stand inside for about 15 minutes. Then place the baking pan on top of the stand inside the pan, cover and bake on medium-low heat for about 35-40 minutes.
