Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Brownie Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
2️⃣ Make the Ganache Topping:
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer (avoid boiling).
- Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
3️⃣ Assemble the Cake:
- Pour the ganache over the cooled brownie cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Let the ganache set at room temperature for a softer texture, or refrigerate for a firmer finish.
4️⃣ Serve:
- Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. For an elegant touch, top each slice with:
o Whipped cream
o Fresh berries
o A sprinkle of powdered sugar
Tips for Perfect Results:
- Add a Crunchy Twist: Mix chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans into the brownie batter.
- Extra Ganache: Double the ganache recipe for an even thicker layer.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for 1 week.
