Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup egg whites (about 4 eggs)
- 1/4 cup sugar (for meringue)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the sugar until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Sift in the flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined.
- In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar and whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the meringue into the brownie batter, being careful not to deflate the meringue too much.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
