9x13-inch baking pan
Medium saucepan
Whisk
Spatula
Heatproof bowl
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the sugar until glossy and smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake the brownie cake for 25-30 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it simmers, then pour it over the chopped chocolate.
Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Pour the ganache over the cooled brownie cake and spread evenly.
Allow the ganache to set at room temperature or in the fridge for a firmer texture before slicing and serving.
Feel free to swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate for a sweeter flavor, or try almond or oat milk for a lighter ganache. To keep your Decadent Chocolate Delight fresh, store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze individual slices for up to 3 months. Enhancing flavors can be achieved with a pinch of espresso powder in the brownie batter or using high-quality chocolate for the ganache. Enjoy your baking adventure!
