Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (plain flour)
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (caster sugar)
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar (light or dark muscovado)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces (225g) dark chocolate (70% cacao), chopped, divided in half
  • 3 Tbsp (45ml) of Milk (any percentage)
  • 1 Cup (120g) of icing sugar

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch (20x20cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. In a double boiler (or a heat-safe bowl set over a simmering pot of water), melt butter and half of the chopped chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Stir in both sugars into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in the remaining chopped dark chocolate.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  8. Let brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  9. While the brownies cool, add the milk to the icing sugar, mixing until it forms a rich glaze. Spread the glaze over the brownies and allow it to set.
  10. Cut into squares and serve Felixs updated brownie recipe.
