Ingredients
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
– 1 ounce chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Electric mixer (or whisk)
– 9×13 inch baking pan
– Rubber spatula
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Parchment paper (optional, for easy removal)
– Saucepan (for melting chocolate)
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips along with the unsalted butter until smooth, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar with the cooled chocolate mixture, stirring until well incorporated. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Lastly, fold in the flour and salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
