Here's what you need: good-quality chocolate, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Time 45m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz good-quality chocolate, semi-sweet
12 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ¼ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.
  • Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk!
  • Enjoy!

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb semisweet chocolate
1 cup butter, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons boiling water
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts or 1 1/2 cups pecans
1 tablespoon instant coffee

Steps:

  • Set oven to 325 degrees.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The quality of your chocolate will directly impact the flavor of your brownies. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will result in tough, dense brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking the brownies will result in dry, crumbly brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.
