Cocoa Brownies

INGREDIENTS

1. 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
2. 11/4 cups sugar
3. 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, natural or dutch process
4. 1/4 teaspoon salt
5. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6. 2 large eggs, cold
7. 1/2 cup all purpose flour
8. 3/4 cup dark chocolate, finely grated

METHOD

STEP 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 8″ square pan with parchment paper leaving 2 inches overhang.

STEP 2

1. In a heatproof bowl combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt, place it in a skillet of simmering water. Stir until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth. 
2. Once the mixture is hot (140°F), remove the bowl from the skillet and let it cool until it’s only warm. Using a wooden spoon stir in the vanilla, then add the eggs, stirring vigorously after each one. 
3. Once the batter looks shiny and well-blended, stir in the flour and the chocolate, until no streaks remain. Vigorously beat the batter for 40 strokes.

STEP 3
Spread the batter evenly into the pan. Bake until a toothpick plunged in the middle comes out slightly moist with batter, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove and let cool completely before lifting out of the pan and transferring to a cutting surface. Cut to your desired size.
