Ingredients:

  • 170g unsalted butter
  • 200g unrefined cane sugar
  • 100g light brown sugar, packed
  • 75g Dutch-process cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 95g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch metal square baking pan with parchment paper, making sure the paper hangs over the sides for easy removal later. Note: Metal pans reflect heat better than glass, preventing burnt edges.
  2. Melt the 170g of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over the lowest heat possible. As soon as it is liquid, pull it off the burner.
  3. Add the 75g of Dutch process cocoa powder to the warm butter. Whisk it until it is smooth and the cocoa smells toasted. This is the blooming phase where flavor develops.
  4. Stir in the 200g of unrefined cane sugar and the 100g of light brown sugar. The mixture will look gritty at first, but keep stirring until it starts to look integrated.
  5. Add the two room temperature eggs and the tablespoon of vanilla. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the batter looks silky and glossy.
  6. Sift the 95g of all purpose flour, the tablespoon of cornstarch, and the 1/2 teaspoon of salt directly into the pan.
  7. Fold the dry ingredients in gently with a silicone spatula. Stop the second you see no more white streaks. Note: Overmixing at this stage will make the brownies cakey instead of fudgy.
  8. Transfer the batter to your pan. Bake for exactly 22 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. While the base cools, heat the 120ml of heavy cream in a small pot until it just starts to simmer. Pour it over the 250g of chocolate chips and the teaspoon of honey.
  10. Let the ganache sit for 5 minutes, then stir from the center outward until it becomes velvety. Pour over the cooled brownies, top with sprinkles, and chill for 1 hour until the ganache is firm to the touch.
