Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter and chocolate together in a 9-inch skillet over low heat, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Step 2
Remove from heat. Stir in sugar, then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Step 3
Sift flour and cocoa powder together, then fold gently into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
Step 4
Spread batter evenly in the skillet. Bake for 12–14 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with fudgy crumbs.
Step 5
Cool in the skillet for 5 minutes. Cut into 9 squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
