Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
2. Melt the butter in a medium bowl using the stovetop or microwave, then let it cool slightly.
3. Whisk in the cocoa powder and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth.
4. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until glossy and fully combined.
5. Fold in the flour and salt, mixing just until there are no dry spots left.
6. If using, fold in chocolate chips for added richness.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pie dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft.
8. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or allow to cool completely for a denser texture.
Notes
Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest flavor.
Don’t overbake — the gooey center is the highlight.
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
