Ingredients:

200 g of high cocoa chocolate
150g butter
200 g sugar
2 eggs (C0)
1 Tbsp (heaped) cocoa
120g flour

We break the chocolate into pieces, add the butter cut into small cubes, and melt until smooth. I do this in the microwave.

While the chocolate mixture is cooling, beat the eggs and sugar until a fluffy mass.

We add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and mix it thoroughly. Then add flour sifted with salt and cocoa. Mix until homogeneous.

Line a cake pan (I have 20-22 cm) with baking paper, grease it with butter and pour out the batter.

Bake in a preheated 180 degrees oven for 25-30 minutes. It is very important not to overcook the brownies in the oven. A wooden skewer should come out of the cooked brownies slightly moist, and the surface of the cake should be glossy and slightly cracked.

Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.

Enjoy your appetite!

P.S. I changed the proportions of the original recipe a bit – I didn’t have the right amount of chocolate…)

Ingredients:

200 g of dark chocolate (60-80% cocoa)
200 g butter
180 g sugar
3 large eggs
80g flour

Break the chocolate into pieces and melt in a convenient way. I do it in the microwave. I put it on for about 2-3 minutes, but every 30 seconds I check the chocolate not to overheat, and only when most of the pieces are melted, I gently stir them with a spoon until a smooth thick mass. Leave the chocolate to cool.

In the meantime, whip the room temperature butter and sugar. It took me 4 minutes. We start adding the eggs, one at a time, and after each one we beat them thoroughly. Now add the cooled chocolate – mix. Sift the flour in batches and mix it into the batter.

Grease a 22 cm. mould with butter and sprinkle with cocoa powder. Drop the dough into the tin and bake for 25-30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Be sure not to overcook the cake in the oven.

You can tell when the cake is ready by the matte crust on top, which is slightly cracked, and check the middle with a skewer – there must be some dough left on it.

Let the finished pie cool, then release it from the mold. If you serve it warm, then only with ice cream))

Enjoy your appetite!
