Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 4 ounces unsalted butter
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chopped
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup sourdough discard
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon coffee extract or additional vanilla
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- flaky sea salt, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Butter an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking dish. Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Place butter and chopped chocolate in a metal bowl. Set bowl over a pot with an inch or two of water and bring it to a low simmer. Melt chocolate mixture slowly, stirring often. Once butter and chocolate are fully melted, remove from heat.
- Whisk in sugars, whisking vigorously until well combined and shiny, about 3 minutes. Whisk in sourdough discard.
- Add eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla and coffee extracts; whisk well to combine.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to chocolate mixture and fold together gently with a spatula.
- Fold in about 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
- Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, about 30-40 minutes (time will vary based on material and size of baking pan). Top with flaky sea salt, if desired.
- Allow to cool completely before slicing and eating.
