Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) to allow it to heat up while you prepare the pie mixture.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer for about 3 minutes, until fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix by hand until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the cocoa powder, salt, and flour by hand until everything is well combined. Mixing by hand will help maintain the gooey texture, as using a mixer could make the pie more cakey.
- Prepare the pie pan: Grease an 8-inch pie pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour and bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared pie pan and smooth the top. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set.
- Cool slightly: Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the gooey texture to set slightly.
Notes
- For the best gooey texture, avoid using a mixer when adding the dry ingredients. Mixing by hand ensures the fudge-like consistency.
- Make sure the pie cools slightly after baking, as it will continue to set as it cools.
- This pie is best served warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
