Dark chocolate brownies

Indulge in the rich and decadent flavors of these dark chocolate brownies, perfect for chocolate lovers and those who enjoy a dense, fudgy treat. This recipe combines the luxurious taste of dark chocolate with a few simple ingredients to create an irresistible dessert that's sure to impress.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
2 tbsp dry cocoa powder
30g
1 cup sugar
230g
3 eggs
150g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
1 dash salt
1g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter:
In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Melt them together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and completely melted.
3. Mix in the Cocoa Powder:
Once the chocolate and butter mixture is melted, whisk in the dry cocoa powder until well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
4. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and smooth.
5. Incorporate the Chocolate Mixture:
Gradually pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to prevent the eggs from cooking.
6. Add the Dry Ingredients:
Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and a dash of salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough brownies.
7. Bake the Brownies:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy.
8. Cool and Serve:
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Enjoy your rich, dark chocolate brownies with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream!

Tips:

- For an extra fudgy texture, be sure not to overbake the brownies. They should be slightly undercooked in the center when you remove them from the oven.

- To enhance the chocolate flavor even more, consider adding a teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the batter.

- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, even squares.

- If you like nuts or chocolate chips, fold in 1/2 cup (60g) of your choice before baking for added texture and flavor.

These dark chocolate brownies are a delightful treat that will satisfy any chocolate craving. Whether you enjoy them warm with a scoop of ice cream or packed in a lunchbox for a midday delight, their rich flavor and fudgy texture make them a favorite. Enjoy your homemade dark chocolate brownies with friends and family!
