Ingredients
Scale
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch pie pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: By hand, mix in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the cocoa powder, salt, and flour, stirring by hand until the batter is smooth. Avoid using an electric mixer here to maintain the fudgy texture.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are firm.
- Serve: Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm for the best gooey texture. Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired.
Notes
Hand mixing helps create a gooey, fudgy texture, so resist the urge to overmix with a mixer.
