Ingredients
  

For the brownie batter
  • 150 g dark chocolate (50-60%) Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
  • 120 g butter
  • 160 g white sugar
  • 75 g brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs Must be at room temperature for better mixing.
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 90 g all-purpose flour
  • 30 g cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 50 g walnuts (optional) Chop and fold into batter if using.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) without the fan or 160°C (320°F) with the fan. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Chop the chocolate and butter, and place them in a heat-resistant bowl.
  3. Melt the chocolate and butter using either a water bath or microwave.
  4. In a medium to large bowl, whisk the eggs with white and brown sugar until pale and thick, about 5 minutes.
Mixing
  1. Slowly mix in the warm chocolate mixture and vanilla, stirring gently.
  2. Sift the flour and cocoa over the mixture, add salt, and fold gently until no visible flour remains.
  3. If using walnuts, chop and fold them into the brownie batter with minimal mixing.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  2. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 30 minutes. Adjust bake time for desired fudginess.
  3. Allow the brownies to cool for at least two hours before cutting.

Notes

Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze wrapped brownies for up to 3 months.
