Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl's bottom doesn’t touch the water. Stir occasionally until fully melted and combined. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat the caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and eggs. Whisk until the mixture is very light, thick, and fluffy, about 5 minutes, incorporating air for a light texture.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Add the chocolate chips and mix gently to combine; this prevents lumps and ensures even distribution.
  5. Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugars. Stir gently to preserve the airiness and avoid deflating the batter.
  6. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and achieve the ideal texture.
  7. Bake the Brookies: Drop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart to allow spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until the brookies are set and have a crackly top.
  8. Cool and Finish: Remove the brookies from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with sea salt immediately. Let cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Using both caster and Demerara sugar helps to achieve the perfect chewy texture and a subtle caramel flavor.
  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better emulsification and volume during whisking.
  • The sprinkling of sea salt on top enhances the chocolate flavor and balances sweetness.
  • Do not overbake to maintain the fudgy, chewy texture; the brookies should look slightly underbaked in the middle when removed.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
