Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup butter melted and cooled (6oz, 170g)
  • 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate melted and cooled (85g)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (10.5oz, 298g)
  • 1 cup minus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (4.7oz, 133g)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons unsweetened alkalized cocoa powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 - 8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chunks to taste (170-227g)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare an 8 inch by 8 inch baking pan, see note, and spray the inside with cooking spray.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until blended.
  • Add cooled melted butter and melted chocolate and whisk to combine.
  • Combine dry ingredients in bowl and sift over chocolate mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula just until combined. Do not over mix.
  • Add semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chunks and stir gently to combine.
  • Pour into baking pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chunks on top.
  • Bake in 350 degree F oven until set, about 28 minutes. Be careful not to overbake or the brownies will not be fudgy. They should be slightly underdone. See above for more details. A toothpick inserted into the center will come out streaked with some batter and maybe a crumb or two. If it comes out clean, they’re overbaked.
  • Let the brownies cool for about an hour for neat slices. This allows the chocolate to set and chewiness to develop. The longer they cool, the neater the slices will be.

Notes

  • I use a baking pan with a removable bottom which comes in handy for easily and cleanly removing brownies and bars from the pan. I line only the bottom with a square of baking parchment.
  • If you don't have a removable bottom pan, you can line the baking pan with baking parchment aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides, so that the brownie lifts out neatly.
