1
Melt the butter, sugar, and chocolate together on the stovetop, stirring until combined.
2
Stir in the eggs (and remaining sugar) by hand into the melted chocolate-butter mixture until smooth.
3
Mix in the Dutch cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until a uniform batter forms.
4
Fold in a small amount of olive oil for moisture, then stir in the dark chocolate chips.
5
Pour the batter into a baking pan and smooth the top.
6
Bake at about 325°F (163°C) for roughly 30 minutes, until a shiny crust forms on top and the inside stays moist and chewy.
7
Let the brownies cool, then slice and enjoy — aiming for that perfect balance between cakey and fudgy.
