Brownies de Chloé
Ingredients:
- 170 grams of unsalted butter (melted)
- 400 grams of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 8 grams of vanilla extract
- 28.3 grams of unsweetened cocoa powder
- 28.3 grams of dark cocoa powder
- 140 grams of all-purpose flour
- 2.84 grams of salt
- 2.3 grams of baking powder
- **Optional:** Kosher sea salt (sprinkle on top before baking)
"Yields: 1 (8x8-inch) pan of brownies, about 9-12 servings"
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Gently add the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder directly into the wet mixture. Stir carefully with a spatula or spoon until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 3: Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. If desired, sprinkle lightly with kosher sea salt for added flavor and texture.
Step 4: Bake in preheated oven (350°F / 175°C) for 25-30 minutes, checking after 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with moist crumbs attached (avoid baking until completely clean).
Step 5: Let brownies cool completely in the pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing for cleaner edges.
Step 6: Slice into squares and enjoy!
