Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 tbsp unsalted butter melted, slightly cooled
  • 6 oz bittersweet chocolate roughly chopped
  • 0.88 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.55 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 6 oz beaten eggs about 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.95 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 0.5 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 1 tsp espresso powder optional, boosts chocolate flavor
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.25 tsp baking powder just a pinch for lift
  • 1.25 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chunks divided
  • 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt for topping, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving overhang. Lightly grease.
  • Melt butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate together until smooth. Let cool 5 minutes.
  • Whisk in granulated sugar and brown sugar until glossy and combined.
  • Gradually whisk in beaten eggs and vanilla until the batter thickens and looks shiny.
  • Sift flour, cocoa, espresso powder, salt, and baking powder over the bowl. Fold just until streaks disappear.
  • Fold in about 1 cup chocolate chips, reserving the rest for topping.
  • Spread batter evenly in the pan. Tap once to release air bubbles. Sprinkle remaining chips and flaky salt.
  • Bake 28–32 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool completely in the pan. Lift out using parchment, then slice into squares.

Notes

Variation: Swirl 1/3 cup warmed peanut butter or salted caramel over the batter before baking. Storage: Keep tightly covered at room temperature for 3 days, or chill for extra fudginess. Warm slices 10 seconds in the microwave for molten pockets.
