Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Grease the parchment paper lightly.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together. You can do this by microwaving in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring in between until smooth, or by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Make sure the mixture is smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until well combined and slightly pale. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the beaten eggs and sugar, whisking continuously to ensure an even mix. Add the vanilla extract and stir until fully incorporated.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a fudgy texture.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). The center should be set but still soft for fudgy brownies.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Be sure to melt the butter and chocolate slowly over low heat to avoid burning.
- Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added; this will keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
- Use parchment paper to line your baking pan for easier removal and cleaner edges.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting to ensure clean slices.
These classic fudgy brownies are not only straightforward to make but also utterly delicious. With a perfect balance of sweet and chocolatey goodness, they're bound to become a staple in your baking repertoire. Enjoy them on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
