from Gourmet: "These are probably the fudgiest brownies we've ever tried—in
fact, they seemed too rich to serve in giant squares, so we've cut them smaller. They
taste even better the day after they’re baked."
Ingredients:
3 sticks unsalted butter, cut into pieces
12 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
6 large eggs
1 1/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
3 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Butter and flour a 13- by 9- by 2-inch metal baking pan, knocking out excess flour.
Melt butter with chocolate in a large metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering
water, stirring until smooth.
Remove bowl from pan and whisk in eggs, 1 at a time.
Sift together flour and cocoa powder in a separate bowl and stir into batter with sugar
and salt.
Pour batter into pan and bake in middle of oven until top is firm and a tester inserted
into center comes out with crumbs adhering, 40 to 45 minutes.
Cool completely in pan on a rack, about 2 hours, before cutting into 20 squares.
Cooks' note:
Brownies keep, layered between wax paper in an airtight container, for 5 days.
