🛒 Ingredients

• For the Brownie Cake:
•     1 cup (225g) unsalted butter 🧈
•     2 cups (400g) granulated sugar 🍬
•     4 large eggs 🥚
•     1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
•     1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour 🍞
•     1 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
•     1/2 tsp salt 🧂
•     1 tsp baking powder 🌟
•     1 cup (175g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips 🍫
• For the Ganache Topping:
•     1 cup (240ml) heavy cream 🥛
•     8 oz (225g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped 🍫

📝 Directions

1️⃣ Preheat and Prep:

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2️⃣ Melt and Mix:

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar until well combined and smooth.

    Remove from heat and beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

3️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients:

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

4️⃣ Make the Batter:

    Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

    Gently stir in the chocolate chips.

5️⃣ Bake:

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

    Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking!).

    Let the cake cool completely in the pan.

6️⃣ Prepare the Ganache:

    Heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).

    Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.

7️⃣ Assemble the Cake:

    Pour the ganache over the cooled brownie cake. Use a spatula to spread it evenly over the surface.

    Let the ganache set for about 1 hour at room temperature or 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

8️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:

    Slice the cake into squares or serve it whole.

    Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream 🍦 or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence!

✨ Tips:

    Texture Alert: Underbaking slightly ensures a fudgy center!

    Make Ahead: The cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    Optional Garnish: Sprinkle sea salt flakes or crushed nuts over the ganache for added flavor and crunch.
