Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 10 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 c granulated sugar
  • 3/4 c + 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 c all-purpose flour

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
  • Line a 8"x8" baking pan with foil. Set aside.
  • In a double boiler, melt together butter, sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Whisk together.
  • When all the butter has melted and everything is mixed together, remove the bowl from the heat and set aside to cool. It should be warm but not hot or it will scramble the eggs.
  • At this point, I poured the cocoa mixture into my stand mixer bowl and turned it on 2. Mix for 2 minutes. You can use whisk or wooden spoon.
  • Add vanilla and stir.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • When your batter looks shiny, it's time to add flour. Add it all at once and beat until it disappears in the batter.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake 25 - 30 minutes.
  • Cool completely before cutting.
