- Ingredients for the brownies:
- 80 grams of butter
- 80 grams of dark chocolate
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 120 grams of sugar
- 85 grams of flour
- 10 grams of cocoa powder

- 1/2 cup of oil
- 1/2 cup of sugar

- Preparation:
- For the brownies: Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). Melt the butter and dark chocolate together, either in a microwave or over a double boiler. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until well combined. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder (if using), and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into a greased or lined baking pan.
- For the chocolate sauce: Combine the cocoa powder, milk, oil, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a bowl. Use a hand mixer or blender to mix until smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour some of the chocolate sauce over the brownie batter and swirl with a knife for a marbled effect.
- Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Serving: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan. Drizzle with additional chocolate sauce before serving.
