Ingredients

  • Caramel Sauce:
  • 1/3 cup caramel sauce, plus 3–4 tablespoons for drizzling
  • Dry Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (168 g)
  • 1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder (24 g)
  • Chocolate Base:
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (168 g)
  • 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • Sweeteners and Flavoring:
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (260 g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (46 g)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Eggs:
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • Topping:
  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon flaky salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and cocoa powder. Set aside.
  3. In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla until well combined.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition until batter is smooth and glossy.
  6. Fold in the flour and cocoa mixture until fully incorporated.
  7. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Dollop 1/3 cup of caramel sauce over the batter and swirl gently with a knife.
  8. Sprinkle with flaky salt, if using.
  9. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until center is set but still soft. Let cool completely in the pan.
  10. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts for extra texture.
  • Stir in chocolate chips for more chocolate flavor.
  • Use salted caramel for a deeper, balanced flavor and skip the flaky salt.
  • Add a pinch of espresso powder to intensify the chocolate taste.
