Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:16 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
Whipped cream for serving (optional)
Fresh strawberries or raspberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy release.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well blended.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract and mix until everything is just combined.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until everything is combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips to add a decadent touch.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberries or raspberries for an extra splash of color and flavor.
