Instructions

How to make a classic chocolate brownie at home? Prepare all the necessary ingredients.
Take a bowl and break the chocolate into small pieces. Add the butter, also cut into pieces. Choose high-quality butter, without adding vegetable fats.
Boil ordinary water in a saucepan, put a bowl of chocolate on top. This design is called a “water bath”, so the chocolate will melt in steam from boiling water. An important condition is that the bottom of the bowl should not touch the water. And also, do not take glassware for these purposes. My bowl burst in the process, I had to pour everything into another one.
With constant stirring, melt the chocolate with butter until smooth. Remove the dishes with the chocolate mass from the water bath and cool.
While the chocolate is cooling, beat the eggs with powdered sugar in a separate bowl with a mixer until fluffy and light. Wash the eggs in running water with baking soda before use, as there may be harmful bacteria on their surface.
Pour the cooled chocolate into the eggs, mix everything with a spatula.
In a separate bowl, sift flour and cocoa through a sieve or using a special mug. Add a pinch of salt. Salt in desserts enhances the chocolate taste, be sure to add it.
Pour the dry mixture into the egg-chocolate mixture. Using a spatula, mix everything until smooth. You may need a little less or a little more flour, focus on the consistency of the dough. The dough should not turn out to be liquid and not too thick, like for cupcakes.
Take a baking dish, cover it with baking paper. To make the paper fit better, first fold it. Pour the dough into the mold and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the brownies in a preheated oven at 180 ° C for about 20-30 minutes. In the case of brownies, readiness is not determined with a toothpick, I advise you to focus on 25 minutes of baking, and on the specifics of your oven. If you overexpose the brownie in the oven, it will turn out dry. Chocolate brownie with cocoa can be served both warm and completely cooled down. Add a scoop of ice cream to the warm brownie when serving. Enjoy your meal!

Recipe Notes

I baked brownies in a 20×22 cm pan. We really love this dessert, and I often make it using various recipes. This particular recipe is one of the most successful ones we’ve tried.

The taste of the finished dessert primarily depends on the quality of chocolate used. Therefore, choose only a good quality product. You can use not only dark chocolate but also milk chocolate, or even white chocolate. Brownies made with white chocolate are often called “blondies”.

Brownies are often baked with nuts, cream cheese, or berries for added flavor and texture.

Be prepared for the fact that you may need more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour but on the desired consistency of the dough.

Keep in mind that everyone’s ovens are different, so the temperature and cooking time may differ from those indicated in the recipe.

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush to ensure cleanliness and safety.
