Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp (15g) dry milk powder
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tsp (10ml) pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (65g) Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp (3g) fine sea salt
Instructions:
- Place the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until melted, foaming, and golden-brown bits form at the bottom with a nutty aroma.
- Remove butter from heat immediately. Stir in the dry milk powder and chopped chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk the egg and sugar mixture aggressively by hand for 3–5 minutes until the consistency becomes pale, fluffy, and thickened.
- Slowly pour the warm chocolate-butter mixture into the egg emulsion, whisking constantly to combine.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and fine sea salt.
- Use a silicone spatula to fold the dry ingredients in gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a 9x13 inch pan lined with parchment paper and bake at 175°C for 25 minutes until the edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble.
