Description
A rich, fudgy brownie with crunchy walnuts, evoking childhood memories and perfect for any occasion. This easy recipe yields a moist center with a shiny crust and a perfect balance of chocolate and nutty flavor.
Ingredients
150 g Unsalted butter
1 and 1/2 cup Granulated sugar (approx. 300 g)
4 large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
200 g Bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
3/4 cup All-purpose flour (approx. 95 g)
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 pinch Salt
1 cup Walnuts (coarsely chopped, approx. 120 g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20×30 cm (8×12 inch) rectangular pan with butter and dust with flour. Set aside
- In a large bowl, melt together butter and chopped chocolate. Use a microwave in 30-second bursts or a double boiler. Stir until smooth
- Add sugar and stir until completely dissolved
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is glossy and smooth
- Mix in vanilla extract
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt over the chocolate mixture. Fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix
- Fold in walnuts until evenly distributed
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. The edges should be firm and the center slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve with love
Notes
For a shiny crust, beat the sugar and eggs for about 2 minutes after adding each egg.
Do not overbake; the brownie continues to cook with residual heat.
For perfect clean cuts, use a knife dipped in hot water, wiped dry, and cut.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
