Ingredients
For the brownies you need 1 cup unsalted butter, 1½ cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup brown sugar, 4 large eggs at room temperature, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and 1 cup chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips; for the frosting you need ½ cup heavy cream, 1 cup dark chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper, melt butter gently and mix with both sugars until glossy, whisk in eggs one by one then add vanilla, sift flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder together and fold gently into the batter, stir in chocolate chips, pour into pan and smooth the top, bake for 30–35 minutes until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, let cool completely.
Frosting Method
Heat cream until just steaming, pour over chocolate chips and butter, let sit one minute then stir until smooth, add vanilla and salt, spread thickly over cooled brownies and allow to set. History Brownies originated in the United States in the late 19th century as a hybrid between cake and cookies, later enhanced with fudgy textures and rich frostings for indulgent desserts. Benefits Cocoa is rich in antioxidants, chocolate boosts mood, and homemade brownies allow control over ingredients and sweetness.
Formation
The brownies form a dense base while the warm ganache frosting settles into a soft, glossy layer creating a perfect contrast of textures.
