Instructions

  1. Brown 110g butter until golden and nutty. Cool slightly.

  3. Mix in 1¼ cups (165g) all-purpose/plain flour, ½ tsp baking powder, and ¾ tsp salt, then fold in 1 cup (185g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and ⅓ cup (50g) dark chocolate, roughly chopped.
  4. Brown 226g butter and pour over 1¼ cups (200g) chopped dark chocolate. Leave for 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  5. Beat 1¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar, 3 large eggs, and 1 tbsp vanilla extract for 1–2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  6. Slowly mix in the chocolate-butter mixture.
