Servings: 8 people
Equipment
- 23cm × 33cm baking pan
- sauce pan
- whisk
Ingredients
- 156 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp dutch processed cocoa powder
- 312 g dark chocolate, corsely chopped
- 226 g unsalted butter, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 tsp instant espresso powder
- 300 g granulated sugar
- 100 g packed light brown sugar
- 5 eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°c (350°f).
- Butter the sides and bottom of a 23cm × 33cm baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, salt, and cocoa powder together.
- Put the chocolate, butter and instant espresso powder in a large bowl and set it over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
- Turn off the heat, keeping the bowl over the water and add the sugars. Whisk until completely combined, then remove the bowl from the pan. The mixture should be room temperature.
- Add 3 of the eggs to the chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Add the remaining eggs and whisk until combined. Add the vanilla and stir until combined. Do not overbeat the batter at this stage or your brownies will be cakey.
- Sprinkle the flour mixture over the chocolate mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the chocolate until just a bit of the flour mixture is visible.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs sticking to it.
- Let the brownies cool completely, then lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and serve.
