Scale
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (15 ml)
- 2 tablespoons milk, room temperature
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar (125 g)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (113 g)
- 1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder (30 g)
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 100 g flour (about 2/3 cup gluten-free or 3/4 cup all-purpose)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips (100 g, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
- Melt butter and chopped dark chocolate together over low heat or in the microwave until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract, milk, eggs, and egg yolk until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, flour, and salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the skillet, smoothing the top. Sprinkle dark chocolate chunks on top if using.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until edges are set but the center remains soft.
- Cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor.
- For fudgier brownies, bake slightly less time.
- Store dry mix in a jar for up to 2 months.
- To gift, attach a label with wet ingredient list and baking instructions.
