## Ingredients

- 8 oz unsalted butter
- 2 oz dark chocolate (around 70%), chopped
- 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 0.5 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups superfine sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 8 oz chocolate chips

## Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare the pan with nonstick baking spray and a parchment paper sling across the width of the pan.
2. Add the butter and both chocolates to a medium bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
3. Stir together with a silicone spatula until the butter and chocolate have melted.
4. Once melted, remove from the heat and immediately mix in the cocoa powder.
5. While the chocolate mixture cools, add eggs, vanilla, and superfine sugar to a mixing bowl and whisk together at medium speed.
6. Add the chocolate mixture to the sugar and eggs and whisk until incorporated.
7. Mix in the flour but stop just before it's all the way incorporated.
8. Add the chocolate chips and mix until fully combined and no streaks of dry flour remain.
9. Smooth out the batter in the prepared pan.
10. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with wet crumbs attached.
11. Remove from the oven and set the pan on a baking rack to cool completely.
12. Once cool, lift out using the parchment paper sling and cut into squares.
