ingredients

12 Servings

200 g dark chocolate (min. 70% cocoa content)150 g unsalted butter200 g granulated sugar3 large large eggs5 ml vanilla extract100 g all-purpose flour30 g unsweetened cocoa powder2.5 g salt100 g walnuts or pecans (optional)

Steps

Prep and Melt

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an approximately 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper. In a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (bain-marie) or in a microwave on low heat, melt the dark chocolate with the butter. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.

Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, using a hand whisk or electric mixer, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until light and thick (about 3-5 minutes).

Combine Ingredients

Pour the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture and gently fold to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans now.

Bake and Cool

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven. The brownies are done when the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.

Extra Tips

► Don't overbake your brownies, or they'll turn out dry! They're perfect when the edges are set but the center is still a bit wobbly.

► Let them cool completely in the pan before cutting, this will make them much easier to slice neatly.

► Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an even more delicious treat!
