Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. Make the Batter:
    Melt butter in a microwave or saucepan. Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla until glossy and smooth.

  3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    Beat in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional):
    Fold in chocolate chips for extra melty texture.

  5. Bake:
    Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
    Bake for 20–25 minutes until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.

  6. Cool & Slice:
    Let cool completely before slicing for the cleanest cuts and fudgiest texture.

Notes

  • For extra chewiness, refrigerate before cutting.

  • Add espresso powder to intensify the chocolate flavor.

  • Top with flaky sea salt or a drizzle of ganache for a gourmet touch.
