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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar mixture very gently to preserve airiness.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients: Using a spatula, carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mix without overmixing to maintain a light batter.
- 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.
- 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.
