This indulgent Brownie Cake recipe combines rich dark chocolate and a perfect balance of sugars to create a fudgy, moist dessert with a slightly crisp top. Perfect for chocolate lovers craving a classic treat that’s easy to bake and impressively delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter:

  • 200g (1 cup) unsalted butter
  • 200g (7 oz) dark chocolate (70%), chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 200g (1 cup) granulated sugar
  • 100g (1/2 cup) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
  • 30g (1/4 cup) cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl along with the butter. Set the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water and stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Whisk the Eggs and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together for 2 to 3 minutes until pale and slightly thickened. Add vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the egg mixture and stir until fully combined. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the batter until just combined to prevent overmixing.
  4. Bake the Cake: Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8-inch round or square pan with parchment paper or grease lightly. Pour batter into the pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until center is set but still fudgy; a toothpick inserted should have moist crumbs.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie cake to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Serve slightly warm for a soft center experience.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a fudgy texture.
  • Check the brownie cake a few minutes before the prescribed baking time to avoid overbaking.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added indulgence.
