Ghana Demerara Brownies Recipe

Ghana Demerara Brownies Recipe

  • 1 pinch unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 12 ounces 80% cacao chocolate
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup demerara (turbinado) sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle cocoa powder into the dish.
  2. Melt chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, about 5 minutes.
  3. Whisk eggs, brown sugar, and demerara sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Stir chocolate mixture into egg mixture until thoroughly mixed. Stir in flour, vanilla extract, and salt into chocolate-egg mixture until thoroughly mixed; pour into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
