Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking: 30 minutes
Difficulty: easy
Serving: 9 servings
Ingredients (for a 20x20cm Tramontina baking pan)
225 g of your preferred chocolate bar
225 g butter
135 g flour
15 g chocolate chips
225 g granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch of salt
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180 ºC (350 ºF).
- Over low heat, start by melting the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler until it becomes a smooth, liquid mixture. Set aside and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder in a separate Tramontina bowl. In a second bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until the mixture triples in volume is light coloured. Pour the chocolate mixture into the eggs, mixing from the bottom upward with a spatula until forming a soft and dense cream. Next, add the dry ingredients, sifting them in two parts, always mixing from bottom upward. The brownie batter is quite dense. Next, pour the batter into a Tramontina baking pan previously lined with wax paper.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- After the indicated time, the famous crust will have formed. Open the oven and test with a toothpick. If the brownies are still raw and the crackly top has not formed, leave them in the oven for 5 more minutes.
- When you take them out of the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes. Then lift the brownies with the wax paper and let them cool completely on a rack before cutting.
