Ingredients

  • ½ cup (4 oz/125 g) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
  • 3 oz (90 g) unsweetened chocolate or bitter chocolate bar, finely chopped
  • 1 cup (7 oz/ 220 g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (3 oz/90 g) cake flour, sifted
  • ½ cup (85 g) dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (85 g) semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 8-inch (20-cm) square glass baking dish or metal baking pan.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, combine the butter and the chopped unsweetened chocolate. Heat, stirring often until melted, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and salt. Add the eggs and vanilla; stir until well blended.
  • Sprinkle the sifted cake flour over the chocolate mixture; stir until well blended. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out almost clean. (If using a metal baking pan, it may take longer to bake). DO NOT OVER BAKE!
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into 2 ½-inch (6-cm) squares. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
