Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
3/4 cup sugar
170g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
3 eggs
150g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
2 tbsp dry cocoa powder
30g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1/3 cup sour cream
72g
1/2 cup dark chocolate
120g
1 dash salt
1g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Melt Butter and Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the butter and dark chocolate together. Stir until smooth and fully combined, then set aside to cool slightly.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose white wheat flour, dry cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, beat together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Add in the vanilla extract and continue mixing.
5. Add Chocolate Mixture:
Gradually add the melted butter and chocolate mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, stirring continuously until well combined.
6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
Slowly fold in the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
7. Add Sour Cream:
Fold in the sour cream until the batter is smooth and uniform.
8. Pour Into Pan:
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
9. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. The exact time may vary depending on your oven.
10. Cool:
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
11. Serve:
Once cooled, slice the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy your classic cakey brownies!

Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing, as this helps in achieving a smooth batter.

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a more intense chocolate flavor.

- Do not overmix the batter once you add the flour, as this can result in denser brownies.

- Lining the baking pan with parchment paper makes it easier to remove the brownies once they are baked.

- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into squares for clean, even edges.

Once your classic cakey brownies are cooled and ready, enjoy them on their own or with a scoop of ice cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. With their perfect cakey texture and rich chocolate flavor, these brownies are sure to become a favorite in your home.
