Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and include the vanilla extract. Beat until everything is combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let it cool in the pan.
- For the fudge sauce, combine the heavy cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and butter in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until smooth and the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Once the brownie cake has cooled, drizzle the chocolate fudge sauce over the top. Slice into squares and serve warm.
Notes
For added indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Can be stored at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
