Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
3 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup heavy cream (for ganache)
6 oz chopped chocolate (for ganache)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, and flour until combined.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Cool slightly before adding it to the dry ingredients.
Incorporate eggs one at a time into the butter mixture, stirring until well combined. Mix in dry ingredients until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
For the ganache, heat heavy cream until simmering; pour over chopped chocolate and stir until smooth. Spread over cooled brownies and cut into petit fours.
