Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (43g)
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (170g)
  • 2 Tablespoons oil (28ml)
  • 1 and 1/3 cups granulated sugar (265g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (128g)

Equipment

  • 9x9 inch baking pan
  • large mixing bowl
  • Medium saucepan
  • rubber spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with non-stick baking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and espresso powder. Set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, oil, and 1/3 cup of the sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is completely melted. Remove from heat.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolk, vanilla, and remaining sugar. Whisk until well combined, about 30 seconds.
  5. Slowly pour the warm butter mixture into the egg mixture, adding it gradually while whisking constantly until completely combined.
  6. Add in the dry ingredients and chocolate chips, and using a rubber spatula, stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes or until the edges are firm and the top is shiny and slightly cracked.
  9. Place the pan on a cooling rack and cool completely before slicing.
