Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 56g butter
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, plus extra chunks for adding to the batter
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preparation:
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). Line a small baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Chocolate Mixture:
- Combine the butter and 1/2 cup of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Egg Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and sugar together until pale and fluffy. This helps incorporate air and gives the brownies a light texture.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Gradually mix the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture until well combined and smooth.
- Sift in the flour and cocoa powder to ensure there are no lumps. Add vanilla extract and fold in the additional chocolate chunks.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the center is just set but still soft.
- Avoid overbaking to maintain the fudgy texture.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This allows them to set and makes them easier to cut.
Enjoy your Fudgy Chocolate Chunk Brownies as a luxurious treat that will satisfy your chocolate cravings and delight your guests!
