Ingredients
- 5 ounce semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 8 tablespoon (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into quarters
- 3 tablespoon cocoa powder, sifted*
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon table salt
- 1 cup (5 ounces) all-purpose flour
Instructions
Step 1
Adjust an oven rack to the lower-middle position and heat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan** with two pieces of foil and spray with vegetable oil spray.
Step 2
Melt the semi-sweet and unsweetened chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl set over a sauce plan of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally with a spatula (or wooden spoon) until smooth. Remove bowl from heat and stir in the cocoa powder until smooth. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
Once mixture has cooled, stir in the eggs, sugar, vanilla and salt until combined. Add flour, stirring until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan; spread the batter into the corners and smooth the surface using your spatula. Bake until slightly puffed and a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 35 – 40 minutes. Cool the brownies on a wire rack to room temperature (I did not wait this long, I waited for about, 5 minutes – I needed chocolate). Looses the edges with a pairing knife and lift the brownies from the pan using the foil extensions. Cut the brownies into 1-inch squares and serve.
