Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang.
Step 2
Melt butter and chocolate together in a bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
Step 3
Remove from heat. Stir in sugar, then add eggs one at a time, whisking until glossy.
Step 4
Sift flour and cocoa powder directly into the bowl, then fold gently until just combined.
Step 5
Pour batter into pan, smooth the top, and bake for 13–15 minutes until edges set but center jiggles.
Step 6
Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then lift onto a wire rack. Cut into nine squares when cool.
