Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 95 g plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 85 g dark or milk chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 225 g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 56 g butter (salted or unsalted)
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 100 g caster or granulated sugar
  • 90 g Demerara or raw sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) using a fan setting or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional ovens. Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place chopped dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl bottom does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until both are fully melted and combined. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Whip Eggs and Sugars: Using an electric hand whisk on high speed, beat the caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and eggs together until the mixture is very light, thick, and fluffy, about 5 minutes. This aeration is crucial for texture.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a bowl to remove lumps and ensure even distribution. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  5. Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar mixture very gently to preserve airiness.
  6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Using a spatula, carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mix without overmixing to maintain a light batter.
  7. Bake the Brookies: Drop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared tray, leaving ample space between each to allow spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes until the brookies are set and have developed a crackly top.
  8. Cool and Finish: Remove from the oven and optionally sprinkle with sea salt while still warm. Let the brookies cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Room temperature eggs whip better and yield a fluffier batter.
  • Using both caster and Demerara sugar balances sweetness with a subtle molasses flavor and crunch.
  • Sea salt sprinkled on top enhances the chocolate flavor and adds a nice contrast.
  • Ensure not to overmix when folding dry ingredients to keep the brookies tender and fudgy.
  • Baking times may vary depending on oven; check for a crackly top and slight firmness to the touch.
