Chocolate Lava Brownies
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of unsalted butter
- 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 and 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter and 8 ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 and 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Sift in 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, carefully lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool for an additional 10 minutes.
- Slice into squares, serve, and enjoy the gooey chocolate lava brownies!
