-
2 cups granulated sugar
-
4 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
For the Ganache Topping:
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
-
Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in sugar until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
-
In a bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder. Gradually stir into the wet ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips.
-
Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely.
-
For the ganache: Heat cream just to a simmer, pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
-
Pour ganache over cooled brownie cake. Spread evenly and let set at room temperature or chill for a firmer topping.
-
Slice into squares and serve. Optionally top with whipped cream, berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
-
Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.

Chill for a firmer bite or serve at room temperature for a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
