Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Melt the butter and set it aside to cool slightly.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- 3
Pour the cooled melted butter into the egg mixture and stir until fully combined and smooth.
- 4
Sift in the chocolate powder, flour, and salt. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined — do not overmix or the brownies will turn cakey.
- 5
Grease a 20×20 cm (8×8 in) baking pan with butter and dust with cocoa powder. Pour in the batter and spread it evenly.
- 6
Bake for 25–30 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center — it should come out with a few moist crumbs for perfectly fudgy brownies.
💡 Chef's Tip
For the fudgiest result, pull the brownies out when the center still has a very slight jiggle — they will firm up as they cool. Let them rest at least 15 minutes before slicing for clean, bakery-style cuts.
