Start by mixing the dry ingredients in a bowl, including all-purpose flour and cocoa powder that have been sifted.

Add 2-3 pinches of salt to the dry mixture and mix well until no lumps are visible.

In a separate bowl, add 108 grams of melted butter.

Add 60 grams of sugar to the melted butter and beat for about 2-3 minutes until well combined.

Add 2 eggs to the mixture and beat for about 1.5 minutes, being careful not to overbeat.

Mix in 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla essence.

Optionally, add 1 teaspoon of coffee mixed with 1 tablespoon of milk for flavor.

Add 111 grams of chocolate (milk chocolate or Nutella) and mix until just combined.

Prepare a baking pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for 20-25 minutes.

After baking, allow the brownies to cool for 3 hours before cutting into squares.
