DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES





DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES 

MAKES 9 LARGE OR 16 SMALL SQUARES




6
tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for pan


6
ounces coarsely chopped good-quality semisweet chocolate


1/4
cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)


3/4
cup all-purpose flour


1/4
teaspoon baking powder


1/4
teaspoon salt


1
cup sugar


2
large eggs


2
teaspoons pure vanilla extract


1.   Preheat oven to 350°. Line a buttered 8-inch square baking pan with foil or parchment paper, allowing 2 inches to hang over sides. Butter lining (excluding overhang); set pan aside.


2.   Put butter, chocolate, and cocoa in a heatproof medium bowl set over a pan of simmering water; stir until butter and chocolate are melted. Let cool slightly.


3.   Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; set aside.


4.   Put sugar, eggs, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat on medium speed until pale, about 4 minutes. Add chocolate mixture; beat until combined. Add flour mixture; beat, scraping down sides of bowl, until well incorporated.


5.   Pour batter into prepared pan; smooth top with a rubber spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted into brownies (avoid center and edges) comes out with a few crumbs but is not wet, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan, about 15 minutes. Lift out brownies; let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
