It is a perfect easy dessert for holidays, dinner parties, cozy weekends, and anyone searching for chocolate dessert ideas, easy baking recipes, comfort food desserts, and crowd-pleasing food ideas.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
4 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Vanilla ice cream for serving, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and generously butter a 2-quart baking dish.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, then let it cool slightly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar for 5 to 10 minutes until thick and light yellow.
4. Add the vanilla extract and cocoa powder, mixing until smooth.
5. Add the flour and mix just until combined.
6. Slowly pour in the melted butter and stir until the batter is glossy and fully blended.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
8. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is set and cracked but the center is still soft.
9. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving warm.
10. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
Do not overbake it, because the soft, pudding-like center is what makes this dessert special. Pull it from the oven when the top looks set but the middle still has a little give.
