Ingredients
- 2 pcs chicken eggs
- ½ cup flour
- 4,½ oz sugar
- 4 oz butter
- 4 oz bitter dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- ½ tsp leavening agent
- pinch salt

- Pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the eggs and sugar. Stir thoroughly.
- Combine all the dry ingredients, sift and, add to the chocolate mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- Line a square mold with baking paper. If you have a silicone mold, you do not need to use paper.
- Spread all the batter into the mold and flatten with a spatula.
- Bake the brownies in a preheated oven to 340℉ (170°C) degrees for 35 minutes.
- Check the brownie with a wooden skewer, a crust should form on top and the inside of the brownie should remain slightly moist, but not soggy.
- Remove the brownies from the mold, let cool slightly and, cut into squares.
Notes
- Use good dark chocolate and quality cocoa powder, it will give a richer flavor. The butter should have a fat content of at least 82%.
- Do not over-dry the brownie, its zest is in the moist, slightly stretchy consistency inside.
- If desired, you can decorate the brownie. Pour some caramel on top and use a wooden skewer to make patterns. Or sprinkle with some nuts or chocolate chips.
