Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Ganache Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

  2. Make Brownie Batter:

    • In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in sugar.

    • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each, then add vanilla.

    • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

    • Gradually add dry mixture to wet ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips.

  3. Bake:

    • Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.

    • Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.

    • Let cool completely in the pan.

  4. Prepare Ganache:

    • Heat heavy cream until just simmering.

    • Pour over chopped chocolate and let sit 2–3 minutes.

    • Stir until smooth and glossy.

  5. Assemble:

    • Pour ganache over the cooled brownie layer and spread evenly.

    • Let set at room temperature or refrigerate for a firmer texture.

  6. Serve:

    • Slice into squares and serve as is or with toppings like whipped cream, berries, or powdered sugar.

Notes

  • For a darker flavor, use bittersweet chocolate for the ganache.

  • Brownie layer can be made a day ahead for easier slicing.

  • Refrigerate leftovers for up to 5 days.
