Step-by-Step Instructions
First, let’s preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I always line my baking dish with parchment paper for easier removal later—it’s a little trick I’ve learned over the years. In a large bowl, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar until combined. Then, add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. This step creates a lovely, light batter that will become wonderfully fudgy in the oven! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
