Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place the chocolate and the butter in a glass 8x8-inch baking. Set in the oven just long enough to melt the chocolate and butter without burning them, 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven, gently stir together and set aside.
2. Using a table-top mixer, beat the sugar and eggstogether for two minutes until the eggs have lightened in color and increased in volume.
3. Sift the flour, unsweetened cocoa and salt together into a medium-sized bowl. Add to the chocolate and butter in the baking dish and stir until the flour has been absorbed and there are no lumps.
4. Add the egg-sugar mixture to the baking dish and stir until the batter is smooth and shiny.
5. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the top is just set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out a little sticky, not completely dry.
6. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

These brownies bake up dark, moist and seriously chocolatey. Bring a batch to get-togethers or dinner parties. They are best served warm from the oven with a big scoop of coffee ice cream.
