Fudgy Double-Chocolate Brownies

Recipe Summary

prep: 20 mins

total: 55 mins

Yield: Makes 16 squares

Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more, softened, for pan

3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, sifted

2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)

8 ounces semisweet chocolate (61 to 66 percent), chopped (about 2 cups)

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

      Cook's Notes

We love the flavor of semisweet chocolate in a brownie, but if you want a more intense taste, you can use bittersweet (about 70 percent)— it won’t change the texture. To add crunch, stir 1/2 cup of walnuts or pecans into the batter.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more, softened, for pan
  • 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate (61 to 66 percent), chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan and line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; butter parchment. 

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt. In a large heatproof bowl set over (but not in) a pot of simmering water, combine 1 1/2 cups chocolate (6 ounces) and butter; heat, stirring, until melted. Remove from heat. Immediately add sugar and whisk 10 seconds.

Add eggs, one at a time, then vanilla; whisk vigorously until glossy and smooth, 45 to 60 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, stir in flour mixture until just combined, then fold in remaining 1/2 cup chocolate (2 ounces). Transfer batter to prepared pan, smoothing top with spatula.

Bake until top is shiny and crackly and a tester comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 20 minutes. Using parchment overhang, lift brownies from pan. Let cool completely on rack before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days.

                Great quick, basic brownie. Mine took 32 minutes. I'd suggest setting your timer for 25 and seeing how much longer you need from there.

                If you want to kick your brownies up a notch, then you have to try these Mexican chocolate brownies. They are a perfect combination of sweet and heat - you will not be disappointed!

                I can't eat milk chocolate, anyone have a suggestion of a replacement with no dairy or lactose, or do you think just the cocoa powder would be fine? Thanks!

                very good rich chocolate flavour. reduce the baking time if you want your brownies to turn out soft and fudgy in the middle. otherwise they will turnout with a drier, cakey texture

                These brownies turned out fantastic! I loved that the recipe was quick and easy, and that I already had all of the ingredients in my kitchen.  I definitely recommend these rich brownies for any chocolate lover!

                Love these brownies! I usually have two brownie recipes that I make. One that is really fudgy and thin and one that is fluffy with a cake-like texture. These have a very balanced texture, a little of both. They are also very thick- yum! I loved the extra chocolate flavor ..... they go great with vanilla ice cream!

                These turned out very cakey and dry. Totally overbaked at 30 min in the oven. Next time could be done at 25 or less for a moister brownie.

                Very good. I switched out 1/2 cup of white sugar with just under 1/2 cup of brown, smoothed out some of the bitterness, not everyone in my family likes dark/bittersweet chocolate (crazy people). In response to the everytalented, my brownie standby recipe is from betterhomes

                These brownies and yummmmmmmy.....  To add another layer of decadence, I frosted with mint buttercream icing.  I just made regular buttercream icing and added four drops of peppermint essence and some about 4/5 drops of green food colouring to icing.  Very pretty and a nice finish to a potluck, or bar-b-que.  Everyone always remembers a fabulous desert.  Thanks.
