Description
Rich fudgy brownie batter made with melted butter, Dutch-process cocoa, eggs whisked with sugars, and chopped dark chocolate, swirled with homemade salted caramel for gooey pockets of sweet-salty delight topped with flaky sea salt.
Ingredients
2/3 cup (86g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (50g) Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (110g) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3.5 oz 70% cocoa dark chocolate, chopped
Flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Homemade salted caramel (for swirling and drizzling)
Instructions
Make homemade caramel, pour half into parchment-lined pan, freeze; refrigerate rest.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 8×8-inch pan with parchment.
Whisk flour, cocoa, salt. Vigorously whisk eggs, sugars until pale.
Whisk in butter, coffee, vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients and chocolate.
Pour batter into pan. Dollop frozen caramel; swirl gently.
Bake 33-35 minutes until caramel creates crevices. Cool 20 minutes, drizzle reserved caramel. Chill 1 hour. Sprinkle sea salt.
Notes
Vigorously whisk eggs/sugars 2-3 minutes for fudgy texture.
Freeze caramel before swirling to prevent sinking.
Don’t over-swirl gentle marble effect is best.
Chill completely for clean cuts.
Instant coffee enhances chocolate without coffee flavor.
