Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Heatproof bowl

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

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!
