Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) for fan ovens or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional ovens. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Melt the chopped dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whip together the eggs, caster sugar, and Demerara sugar until light and fluffy.
- Sift the plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into another bowl, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Baking
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, followed by the dry mixture, taking care not to overmix.
- Scoop tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until the tops are slightly crackly. Do not overbake.
- Optional: Sprinkle sea salt on top when removing from the oven for a contrast in flavor.
Cooling and Serving
- Allow the brownies to cool on the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Serve as is, or with toppings such as ice cream, chocolate sauce, or nuts.
Notes
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze tightly wrapped for up to three months.
