Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate (no substitutions)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (sifted)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup walnuts, walnuts (or other nuts of choice) (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Butter an 8 x8 x 2" pan.
-
Step 2: Melt butter and chocolate together over a double-boiler.
-
Step 3: In a medium bowl, beat eggs well. Add sugar gradually and beat thoroughly until incorporated. Add chocolate mixture and beat well.
-
Step 4: In a separate bowl, mix sifted flour, baking powder and salt. Add nuts (if using). Stir into chocolate mixture and add vanilla. Mix well.
-
Step 5: Place in buttered pan and bake for about 25 minutes. Cut into squares while still warm. Makes 9 squares.
-
Step 6: NOTE: If you want to make it in a 9 x 13" pan, triple the recipe. This I normally do when making it for parties or to feed 3 hungry nephews.
-
Step 7: Note that the chocolate squares noted in ingredients above are 1 ounce for each square, therefore the total is 2 ounces.
