How to Make The Baked Brownie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x13x2 inch glass or light-colored metal baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder (like Valrhona). Set aside.
- Prepare a double boiler (or use a heat-safe bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water).
- In the top of the double boiler, combine 12 ounces (340g) bittersweet chocolate, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, and 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat, but keep the bowl over the simmering water (to maintain warmth). Add 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
- Whisk the sugars until fully incorporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly to room temperature.
- Add 3 large eggs one at a time, whisking until just combined after each addition.
- Add the remaining 2 large eggs, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract and stir until combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. A few streaks of flour are okay.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 25 minutes.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
