Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (43g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons (28ml) oil
  • 1 and 1/3 cups (265g) granulated sugar (divided)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
  • 3/4 cup (128g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, lightly spraying with non-stick baking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and espresso powder. Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, oil, and 1/3 cup of the sugar. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts completely, then remove from heat.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, vanilla (if using), and remaining sugar until well combined (about 30 seconds).
  5. Gradually pour the warm butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until fully combined.
  6. Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips, gently stirring until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes until the edges are firm and the top is shiny and slightly cracked.
  9. Cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing.

Notes

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or chocolate sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
