Servings: 8
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips divided
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pie plate or a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
In a heat-safe bowl, melt the butter with 2 cups of the chocolate chips until smooth. Use a double boiler or microwave at 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
Slowly mix in the cooled melted chocolate until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is puffed but still soft.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain or topped with warm hot fudge.
