Chocolate Brownie

100 gm butter

150 gm dark chocolate

3/4 cup flour

1 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

3 eggs at room temp

1/2 tsp baking powder

1. Place an inch of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over low heat.

2. Place butter, dark chocolate in a large glass or metal bowl and place bowl on top of the simmering water.

3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder. Set aside.

4. Whisk the chocolate and butter mixture until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and add sugars. Whisk until incorporated. Feel the mixture with your finger, it should not be too hot to the touch.

5. Add two eggs and whisk only until combined. Add remaining egg and whisk until combined. Stir in vanilla.

6. Evenly sprinkle half of the flour mixture over the chocolate mixture. Using a flexible and wide spatula, fold the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture until it starts to come together, then add the remaining flour mixture. Fold until only traces of flour mixture is visible.

7. Pour batter into pan and bake for 27-30 minutes @ 160 degree C. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out with a few crumbs and may have some chocolate stuck to the bottom. As long as it’s not gooey, it’s done. Then let cool completely.
