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)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sugars
- 100 g caster or granulated sugar
- 90 g Demerara or raw sugar
- 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.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl placed over simmering water (double boiler method), melt the chopped dark chocolate and butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth and completely combined. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
- Whip Eggs and Sugars: In a separate medium bowl, use an electric hand whisk to beat the caster sugar, Demerara sugar, and eggs on high speed until the mixture becomes very light, thick, and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into another bowl. Add the chocolate chips and gently mix to evenly distribute.
- Integrate Chocolate Mixture: Gradually fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the whipped eggs and sugar mixture, stirring gently to retain the airiness.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing only until just combined to maintain a light batter.
- Bake the Brookies: Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them apart to allow spreading. Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes until the brookies are set and have a crackly top.
- Cool and Finish: Remove the brookies from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle immediately with sea salt. Let them cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute Demerara sugar with raw sugar or light brown sugar for a similar texture and flavor.
- Using room temperature eggs helps achieve the fluffy whipped texture.
- Sprinkling sea salt on top after baking enhances the chocolate flavor.
- Ensure not to overmix after adding the dry ingredients to keep the brookies tender.
