Basic Ingredients- 40g cake flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 100g dark chocolate
- 80g unsalted butter
- 3 fresh eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 packets cocoa powder (or hot chocolate mix)
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the dark chocolate (100g), unsalted butter (80g), and granulated sugar (3 tablespoons). Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and gently melt the ingredients over medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to overheat or scorch the chocolate.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, crack the 3 fresh eggs and whisk them lightly. Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs while whisking continuously until well combined. Mixing while the chocolate is still warm helps to create a smooth batter.
Step 3
Now, let’s add the dry ingredients. Sift the cake flour (40g) into the batter. Sifting prevents lumps and contributes to a finer texture.
Step 4
Similarly, sift in the baking powder (1 teaspoon). Baking powder will help the brownies rise slightly, giving them a pleasant chewiness.
Step 5
Sift in the cocoa powder (or hot chocolate mix, 2 packets) as well. Use a spatula or whisk to gently fold everything together until the batter is smooth and homogeneous. Ensure there are no dry pockets of flour or cocoa.
Step 6
Once all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, it’s time to prepare for baking.
Step 7
Lightly grease your baking pan by brushing the bottom and sides with a little grapeseed oil (or any neutral oil) using a paper towel. This will prevent the brownies from sticking. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 35 to 50 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
Step 8
Enjoy your delicious brownies! Let them cool completely before cutting for the best chewy texture. For an extra-special treat, chill the cut brownies in the refrigerator before serving. They’ll be perfectly dense and intensely chocolatey!
