Tips

  • Use short bursts when melting butter in the microwave to prevent it from exploding.
  • Crack eggs into a separate bowl first to easily remove any shells.
  • Coffee enhances the chocolate flavor, but can be substituted with water or vanilla.
  • Blooming cocoa powder (mixing it into warm melted butter) can make brownies extra chocolatey and fudgy, but is not essential for this recipe.
  • Sift cocoa powder to avoid lumps.
  • If the batter gets cold while mixing, it can lead to a denser cake.
  • Consider adding toasted nuts along with chocolate chips.
  • Underbaking slightly will result in fudgier brownies.
  • Allow brownies to cool before handling or cutting.
