Ingredients
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into cubes
-
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
-
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
-
4 large eggs, at room temperature
-
1 cup superfine sugar
-
1 1/4 cups Guinness stout, see Note below
-
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1/8 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick foil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
- Melt butter, bittersweet chocolate, and white chocolate chips in a double-boiler over very low heat, stirring constantly until melted. Remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add melted chocolate mixture, beating until combined.
- Beat reserved flour mixture into melted chocolate mixture. Whisk in Guinness stout beer. The batter will seem a bit thin. Drop semisweet chocolate chips evenly on top of batter (some will sink in).
- Pour into prepared baking pan. Bake 30 to 40 minutes on center rack in the oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.
- Let brownies cool, uncovered, to room temperature. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.
- Note: The Guinness should be at room temperature. This recipe uses a little less than a standard 12-ounce bottle of Guinness stout beer. Do not include foam in the measurement. Either spoon off the foam or let it rest until the foam subsides.
