Everyone needs a perfect brownie recipe, this is mine! It’s soft, gooey, and super-rich. These are also super easy and straightforward to whip together. If you are looking for that intense dark chocolate flavor paired with a fudgy and soft texture, this is your brownie. The best bit is the crackle on top and the slightly chewier edge that forms.
This is my cousin-in-law’s favorite brownie in the world. Every time I go back home, she will beg me to make her a whole tray. My favorite way to eat this brownie is to microwave it and pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It is so rich and indulgent, it’s a must-try.
INGREDIENTS:
- 120g Dark Chocolate
- 110g Unsalted Butter
- 1tsp Salt
- 1/2tsp Instant Coffee
- 100g Caster Sugar
- 100g Dark Brown Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- Splash of Vanilla Extract
- 40g Cocoa Powder
- 60g Plain/AP Flour
STEPS:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C and line a square 20x20cm/8x8inch baking tin with parchment paper
- Combine chocolate, butter, salt, and instant coffee in a bowl. Melt this all together in the microwave or over a bain-marie (be careful of overheating the chocolate). Mix until it’s homogenous and glossy, and set this aside to cool
- In a large bowl, combine caster sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electronic mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. Make sure all the sugar has dissolved before continuing
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar mixture. Mix on medium until it is fully combined
- Sift in the flour and cocoa powder then fold everything together using a spatula. Stop mixing the moment there are no more dry bits
- Pour the batter into the baking tin. Spread it into an even layer then give it a tap to even out the surface
- Pop it into the oven and bake at 180°C for ~20min. The top should form a crust and crack while the center remains gooey
- Let it cool completely so it can set before cutting in and enjoy! If it’s sticking to the parchment, run an offset spatula under the brownies and they will come right off!
TIP: microwave it for a few seconds to warm it up and pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect dessert
Hey! Love your blogs and recipe 🤍. But i have a problem my brownies tend to rise then sink making it hollow in the middle 😔 can u please tell me where i am going wrong ?
Hi Bushra!
Thank you so much! I am so sorry to hear that your brownies are not working out. They should rise a little in the oven, then sink a bit as they cool to get a really dense and fudgy brownie. As for the hallow situation, I have never seen that happening before! It may be easier for me to help if i can see a picture of what you are describing, feel free to dm me or email me ([email protected]) and i’ll do my best to help!
I made these brownies and the recipe is so so good. It’s the perfect chocolate flavor. I used coffee grinds instead of instant coffee and it turned out good it brought everything together. Very yummy will make these again!
Hi Leah! Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed the brownies!!!
