Ingredients

200 g dark chocolate, chopped
175 g unsalted butter
250 g granulated sugar
3 piece eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
110 g all-purpose flour
40 g cocoa powder
0.5 tsp salt
100 g dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 175 °C. Line a 20 cm square tin with baking paper.
2. Melt the chopped chocolate with the butter over a pan of simmering water (or in short bursts in the microwave). Let it cool slightly.
3. Whisk the sugar, eggs and vanilla together for 2 minutes until pale and thick — this gives the crackly top.
4. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
5. Sift in the flour, cocoa and salt, and fold until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Pour into the tin and bake 25–30 minutes — the centre should still have a slight wobble.
7. Cool completely in the tin before cutting into 16 squares.
