Equipment

  • 9-inch cake pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients:
 
 

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 3.5 or 4 ounce baking chocolate, bittersweet or semi-sweet (chopped)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature preferred
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, sifted
  • ¼ tespoon salt
  • 2 ½ cups fresh raspberries, divided (about 12 ounces)
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar, optional

Instructions:
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper and non-stick spray.
  • In a medium-sized sauce pan, melt the butter and chopped chocolate over medium heat. Set aside and cool for 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs for 3 minutes. Then whisk in the vanilla extract and melted chocolate.
  • Gently fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt just until combined.
  • Spread the brownie batter into the prepared cake pan and press about 1 cup of the raspberries gently around the rim of the cake pan into the batter. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or just until the brownies are set and don't jiggle when you move the pan. Cool completely on a wire rack and dust on powdered sugar. Top the brownie cake with the remaining raspberries in the middle.
  • Keep any leftover brownie slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes:

Cake Pan: Line your 8-inch or 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper and then non-stick spray. This will make removing the brownie much easier later.
Chocolate: Definitely use high-quality chocolate for this brownie recipe. I used Ghirardelli for the chocolate bar and Hershey’s for the cocoa powder.
Folding: This means we carefully combine our ingredients without stirring or beating. We do this with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the ingredients are just combined with each other, “folding” everything together. This happens when we add the dry ingredients into the wet.
