Ingredients

  • 4 ounces (113g) unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, sliced
  • 2 ⅔ cups (332g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ⅓ cup (165g) all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place chocolate and butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high power in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until chocolate and butter are melted and smooth (about 2 minutes, depending on your microwave).
  • Stir sugar and cocoa into chocolate and butter mixture using a spatula or wooden spoon. Stir in eggs and vanilla, then stir in salt. Mixture will be grainy looking but smooth. Stir in flour carefully.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the top is no longer glossy and a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs when placed 2-inches from the side of the pan. Cool completely before slicing. I prefer mine baked only 25 minutes; if you want yours less fudgy, bake longer.

Notes

Tip: add 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter after stirring in the flour or frost with chocolate frosting.
