Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Line an 8" or 9" square baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate while stirring frequently until smooth. Let it cool for about 15 minutes.
Whisk the sugars into the cooled chocolate mixture until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gently mix in the flour and salt until everything is fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Allow them to cool completely before moving on to the next layers.

Notes

For best results, be sure to measure the flour accurately to avoid dense brownies.
Allow the brownies to cool completely before adding any frosting or ganache for better layering.
