Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 2 oz (56g) baking chocolate (60-70% cacao), finely chopped (for drizzle, optional)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Pan & Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang. Grease lightly.
- 2. Melt Chocolate & Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt butter and chopped baking chocolate together until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- 3. Whisk Eggs & Sugar: In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and slightly thickened (2-3 minutes). Stir in vanilla extract.
- 4. Combine Wet & Dry: Pour cooled chocolate-butter mixture into egg mixture; whisk until just combined. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add dry to wet, mixing until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
- 5. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in chopped fresh strawberries. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
- 6. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- 7. Cool Completely: Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
- 8. Garnish & Serve: Once cool, lift from pan, slice, and optionally drizzle with melted chocolate.
