Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter, unsalted
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups double dutch dark cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoon chocolate extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or natural apples sauce
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup bitter sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chocolate ganache
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Butter a 12” cast iron skillet (sides and bottom) and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add in the sugar and cream; stir to combine.
- Return the pan to the heat and stir until smooth and the mixture is shiny.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Remove the butter sugar mixture from heat and whisk in the eggs and chocolate extract.
- Stir in the oil.
- Gradually whisk in the flour mixture just until combined.
- Add in the chocolate chips and gently stir. You don’t want to overwork the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared skillet.
- Bake for ~ 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies will be a little gooey.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and cool for 20-30 minutes if eating directly out of the pan. Cool completely on a rack if cutting and serving.
- Drizzle the ganache over top and allow to cool before cutting and serving.
