Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter and chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk sugar and eggs into the chocolate mixture until well combined, then add vanilla extract.

  3. Step 3

    Sift cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the bowl and fold until no dry streaks remain—don't overmix.

  4. Step 4

    Pour batter into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  5. Step 5

    Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes until set but still fudgy in the center.

  6. Step 6

    Cut into 9 squares and serve immediately. The centers should still feel slightly warm and gooey.
