Cooking Advice
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square baking tin with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Step 4
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, folding gently until just combined.
Step 5
Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time until smooth.
Step 6
Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the batter until everything is well combined.
Step 7
Pour the batter into your prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Check by inserting a toothpick about 2 inches from the edge—it should come out clean, but the center should still feel a bit soft. Let the brownies cool completely in the tin before slicing.
