Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (130 grams)
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (70 grams)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted room temperature butter cut into cubes
  • 8 ounces dark or bittersweet chocolate, chopped (460 grams)
  • ¾ cup white chocolate chips (114 grams)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup superfine or granulated sugar (200 grams)
  • 1-¼ cups 10 ounces Guinness Extra Stout beer**
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • ⅛ cup about confectioners' sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick foil or grease and line with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  • Melt butter, bittersweet chocolate and white chips in a double-boiler over very low heat, stirring constantly until melted. Remove from heat. Alternatively, you may do this in the microwave, microwaving on high and stirring every 30 seconds.
  • 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, and will lighten a bit from the fizziness of the beer. Make sure that the batter is cool (not warm from the chocolate) then fold in the chips.
  • Pour into prepared baking pan. Bake 25 to 30 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.

Notes

There was a note saying the beer should be at room temperature, but I didn't bother bringing it to room temperature and nothing terrible happened.
