Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) with a fan or 170ºC (338ºF) for conventional heating. Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place the chopped dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Set this bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk on high speed to beat together the caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and eggs. Whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes very light, thick, and fluffy, around 5 minutes. This aerates the batter for a better texture.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into another bowl. Add the chocolate chips and mix evenly to eliminate lumps and make a homogeneous dry mix.
Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar mixture. Do this gently to maintain the airiness achieved by whipping the eggs.
Fold in Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter using a spatula. Mix just until incorporated to preserve the light and airy texture without overmixing.
Bake the Brookies: Spoon tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them apart to allow spreading during baking. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the brookies are set with a crackly top but still fudgy inside.
Cool and Finish: Remove the brookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt if desired to enhance the chocolate flavors. Let them cool on the baking tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Using room temperature eggs helps to achieve a fluffier batter when whipping.
Demerara or raw sugar adds a slight crunch and caramel notes; you can substitute with light brown sugar if unavailable.
Sprinkling sea salt on top balances the sweetness and intensifies the chocolate flavor.
Do not overbake; the brookies should be fudgy and chewy inside, not dry.
