Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bars two, four-ounce bars
  • 3 eggs
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F.
  • Line an 8x8-inch metal cake pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer), beat the eggs, both sugars, and vanilla on medium-high speed until the sugars dissolve, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
    3 eggs, 2/3 cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cut the butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and finely chop the chocolate bars. Place both in a large microwave-safe bowl.
    ½ cup unsalted butter, 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bars
  • Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Be careful not to burn the chocolate. Stir to fully combine.
  • While the chocolate mixture is still warm, stir in the egg- sugar mixture until fully incorporated.
  • Add the flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently mix until just combined, do not overmix.
    2/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1 Tablespoon cornstarch, ¼ cup cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
    ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, a few moist crumbs are okay.
  • Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into 16 equal squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Notes

Substitute chocolate chips for the chocolate bar if you don't have one.
