How to Make Chocolate Brownie Cake With Double Chocolate Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 11x7x1 1/2-inch sheet pan.
  2. Whisk together 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 2 large egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1/2 cup (60g) melted unsweetened chocolate. Mix until well combined.
  6. Alternately add the dry ingredients and 6 tablespoons (90ml) milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
