Ingredients

For the Brownie Cake

1 cup unsalted butter

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)

For the Ganache Topping:

1 cup heavy cream

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Brownie Cake:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar until well combined.

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet mixture.

Fold in chocolate chips.

Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cake cool completely in pan.

2️⃣ Make Ganache:

Heat cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (avoid boiling).

Pour hot cream over chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until mixture is smooth and glossy.

3️⃣ Assemble Cake:

Pour ganache over cooled brownie cake and spread evenly with a spatula. Leave the ganache at room temperature for a softer texture, or refrigerate for a firmer finish.

4️⃣ Serve:

Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. For an elegant touch, top each slice with:

Whipped cream

Fresh berries

A pinch of powdered sugar

Tips for Perfect Results

Add a Crunchy Touch: Add chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the brownie batter.

4️⃣ Extra Ganache:

Double the ganache recipe for a thicker layer.

4️⃣ Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Enjoy this irresistible chocolate brownie and smooth ganache combination; it’s the ultimate chocolate dream come true.
