Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter.
Step 2
Melt the
Butter (30 g)
and
Unsweetened Chocolate (55 g)
together. I do this in a microwave using a microwave-safe dish.
Step 3
In a separate saucepan, heat
Buttermilk (480 mL)
gently until just a little warmer than body temperature - being careful not to boil or cook it. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl combine
All-Purpose Flour (310 g)
,
Brown Sugar (220 g)
,
Baking Powder (10 g)
,
Baking Soda (5 g)
, and
Salt (3 g)
. Mix well, making as uniform a mixture as possible.
Step 5
Pour melted chocolate and butter into dry ingredients. Pour in buttermilk and
Vanilla Extract (5 mL)
. Stir until combined. Stir in
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (175 g)
, if desired. Spread into the prepared pan.
Step 6
Combine the remaining
Brown Sugar (275 g)
with the
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (45 g)
(plus 2 Tbsp) in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture as evenly as possible over the top of the batter.
Step 7
Pour on the boiling
Water (600 mL)
. It will look terrible, and you will not believe you are actually doing this, but try to persevere.
Step 8
Place immediately in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the center is firm to the touch.
Step 9
Cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Invert each serving on a plate so that the fudge sauce on the bottom becomes a topping. Serve hot or at room temperature.
