- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20x20 cm square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- 2
Melt the chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second bursts, stirring in between). Mix until smooth and homogeneous, then let cool slightly.
- 3
In a large bowl, quickly whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is homogeneous. There's no need to beat the eggs until fluffy, just combine them.
- 4
Pour the warm chocolate mixture over the egg-sugar mixture. Stir gently until you get a smooth and uniform texture.
- 5
Sift the flour and cocoa powder directly into the bowl, then gently fold them in with a spatula. Mix just enough to avoid lumps, without overworking the batter. Add the chopped walnuts, reserving a handful for the top.
- 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved walnuts on top for a crunchy and visual effect. Bake for 22–28 minutes. The center should remain slightly fudgy: check by inserting a knife blade, which should come out with a few moist crumbs but not completely wet.
- 7
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before unmolding. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cake, then cut it into regular squares.
- For ultra-fudgy brownies, watch the baking time closely and remove them from the oven as soon as a knife inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. A slight under-baking ensures a fudgy texture. You can replace the walnuts with almonds, hazelnuts, or chocolate chips. Add a pinch of sea salt on top after baking to intensify the sweet-salty flavors, or a teaspoon of instant coffee in the chocolate-butter mixture to enhance the cocoa aroma. Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour to keep a dense texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
