📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°f / 180°c. Grease and line a 9” (23cm) square pan with parchment paper, making sure the parchment extends over the sides of the pan to form a ‘sling’. Clip down with binder clips if desired.
2
In a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water (make sure the bowl does not touch the water), combine the dark chocolate and butter. Heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth. Alternatively you can do this step in the microwave - microwave for ⏱️ 30 second increments, stirring well after each until the mixture is smooth and combined.
dark chocolate (I used 72%), coarsely chopped200g(1/2 tsp) kosher salt2g
3
Sift the cocoa powder over top of the chocolate and butter mixture and stir until well combined.
4
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, caster sugar, and brown sugar. Mix on medium to high speed with an electric handheld mixer for ⏱️ 2-3 minutes until the mixture has lightened and increased in volume. This step can also be done in a stand mixer using the whisk attachment.

5
Add the chocolate mixture and mix to combine. Add the salt and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
6
Add the flour and incorporate by hand until the mixture is smooth and does not have any lumps.
7
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, and tap the pan on the counter a few times to ensure there are no air bubbles. Leave to sit for a minute or two then bang again to ensure there are no bubbles.
8
Bake the brownies for 25 to ⏱️ 28 minutes, checking after 20. You are looking for the edges and top of the brownie to be set, and when a skewer is inserted into the middle, it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached. You are best to lean toward under baking than over baking.
9
Remove the brownies from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Leave to cool in the pan then remove using the parchment paper sling. Slice into squares using a sharp knife.
10
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
