3 ½ oz semi sweet chocolate8 tablespoons of butter, browned
4 eggs, at room temp
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Valrhona)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup stout (or any dark beer) or cold coffee
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Sift together the flour and cocoa powder.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water.
- In a small pan over medium heat, melt the butter until it just turns golden brown.
- Pour the brown butter into a bowl, scraping the pan to get the brown bits (this prevents it from overcooking).
- Beat together the eggs and sugar until thick and shiny (2 minutes).
- Continue beating on low while adding flour mixture and wet ingredients alternatively.
- Finish with the vanilla. Do not over mix. Fold in the chips.
- Pour into a buttered and floured 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
