Ingredients:
- 3 eggs (room temperature)
- 180g sugar (1 cup)
- 280g dark chocolate (70-80% cocoa)
- 125g butter
- 70g flour (¾ cup)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: white chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 165°C. Grease a 20-22 cm pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a pan or microwave, then add chocolate and stir until melted.
- Beat eggs and sugar together for 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the eggs, mixing continuously.
- Add flour and salt, mixing until just combined.
- Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until the top forms a crust but the center is still slightly fudgy (around 22 minutes for a 20 cm pan). A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs, not completely clean.
