Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 5 large eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13×9 inch baking pan and set it aside.
- In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter and bittersweet chocolate over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool.
- Once the chocolate mixture cools, whisk in the sugar and vanilla extract. Add the eggs one by one, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Gradually combine the dry mixture with the chocolate mixture, whisking until thoroughly mixed.
- Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25-35 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
For best results, be careful not to overbake; the brownies should be fudgy in the center.
Allow brownies to cool completely for easier cutting into perfect squares.
These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
