Ingredients
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
½ cup unsalted butter
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon baking powder
-
Extra chocolate chunks for the center
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Melt the butter and chocolate chips together in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler until smooth and glossy. Allow it to cool slightly.
-
Add sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Then mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Stir until the batter becomes thick and shiny.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. Pour half the batter into the pan, place a few chocolate chunks in the center for the lava effect, then pour the remaining batter on top.
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft. Do not overbake. Let the brownies cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm for that perfect gooey lava texture.
