Dark extra fudgy chocolate brownie

Brownies are slightly different than cakes. Cakes use leavening agent to rise while brownies are baked mostly without leavening agent. When it is brownie, I love it gooey and fudgy and I loooove extra-dark chocolate. So, I prepared these extra dark fudgy brownies. You can eat them as it is or serve them with frosting, ice-cream or with simply some cream. These brownies are sticky, gooey and fudgy. If this is what you are looking for, you have come to the perfect place. Let’s get started.

Cook time: 20 mins

Servings: 16

Ingredients

1. 180g or 1 and 1/3  cup of 72% cocoa chocolate
2. 180g or ¾ cup of butter
3. 250g or 1 ¼ cup of sugar
4. 3 eggs
5. 75g or 2/3 cup of all-purpose flour
6. 75g or 2/3 cup of cocoa powder
7. ¼ teaspoon of salt
8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Take the dark chocolate, sugar, and butter and melt it in a double-boiler. You can also microwave, to melt the mixture.
2. Let the mixture cool down. Add the eggs and mix it evenly.
3. Then add flour, cocoa powder, salt and vanilla extract. Mix it to form a uniform batter.
4. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
5. Line a baking tray with baking paper and coat it with butter.
6. Now, pour the mixture in the baking tray.
7. Bake the brownies in the oven till the upper crust loses it shine for around 20 minutes. You can also check by inserting a tooth-pick. The toothpick should come out clean with pieces of brownie stuck to the pick.
8. When done, leave it at room temperature to cool down.
9. Once it cools, cut the brownies and serve.
10. Do not worry if the brownies are a bit sticky.

Notes

1. Do not over-mix the batter.
2. I prefer baking the brownies at the lower part of the oven, to prevent burning of the brownies.
