INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup butter
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder optional
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 10 ounces chocolate chips optional
INSTRUCTIONS
-
-
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9×13 baking dish.
-
In small saucepan over low heat, melt butter completely. Stir in sugar and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Do not allow sugar mixture to boil.
-
Remove from the heat and stir in the Nutella until well combined.
-
-
Pour butter mixture into a large bowl or stand mixer, beat in cocoa powder, eggs, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
-
Stir in the flour and chocolate chips until just combined.
-
Spread into prepared pan (batter will be very thick and sticky) and bake for about 30-35 minutes, until a tester comes out mostly clean. The edges should be set and the center should still look slightly moist, but not uncooked.
-
Cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Store tightly covered for 3-5 days.
TIPS & NOTES:
The espresso powder does not give these a ‘coffee’ flavor. It just adds to the richness and deepness of the chocolate.
