Chocolate brownie

To prepare a delicious chocolate cake, we start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. The batter is based on a perfect combination of eggs, sugar, chocolate, and butter, which will provide a rich taste and a soft texture. In a large bowl, we crack the whole eggs and lightly beat them with a pinch of salt. The salt not only helps to enhance the flavor but also stabilizes the mixture. We then add granulated sugar and vanilla sugar, continuously mixing until the mixture becomes homogeneous and creamy, with a slightly lighter shade.

Next, we incorporate the flour, which has been previously mixed with baking powder, an essential ingredient that will help the cake rise and become fluffy. Sifting the flour together with the baking powder ensures an even distribution of the leavening agent in the batter. In another container, the chocolate is melted together with the butter over a double boiler. It is important to stir constantly to prevent the chocolate from burning. Once the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture has become homogeneous, we let it cool slightly before adding it to the bowl with eggs and sugar.

Using a spatula, we gradually fold the chocolate and butter mixture into the egg composition, being careful not to leave any lumps. The resulting batter will have a silky and glossy consistency, ready for baking. Before pouring the batter into the pan, we prepare it. We grease a pan with butter, ensuring it is evenly covered, then dust it with flour to prevent the cake from sticking. This step is crucial for achieving a cake that will easily release after baking.

Once the pan is prepared, we carefully pour the chocolate mixture into it, leveling the surface with the spatula. We bake the cake in a preheated oven at a medium temperature, checking its status periodically. When the baking time is up, we do the toothpick test: we insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean, the cake is done. We let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a platter to cool completely. This chocolate cake is perfect to be served with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream, bringing a touch of happiness in every slice.
