Choc Brownies

Ingredients

Brownies

225g good-quality chocolate
12 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ¼ cups sugar(250 g)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour(95 g)
¼ cup cocoa powder(30 g)
1 teaspoon salt

 

Choc Sauce

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup cold water
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

 

Method

Brownies

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color.
  4. Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure it's not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.

Choc Sauce

1. In a cold saucepan, whisk together the cocoa and the sugar until all lumps are removed.
2. Add the salt and the water and bring to a boil over medium to medium high heat.
3. Reduce to a simmer; stirring constantly. Simmer for about 30 seconds and then remove from heat.
4. once cool, add vanilla.
5. Pour into a glass jar and refrigerate until needed.
