The Farm of Beverly Hills Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 12 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
• 6 large eggs
• 1 1/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
• 1 cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 13 x 9 inch metal baking pan, knocking out excess flour.
2. Melt butter with chocolate in a large metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove bowl from pan and whisk in eggs, one at a time.
3. Sift together flour and cocoa powder in a separate bowl and stir into batter with sugar and salt. Pour batter into pan and bake in middle of oven until top is firm and a tester inserted into center comes out with crumbs adhering, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack, about 2 hours, before cutting into giant squares.
4. Brownies keep, layered between wax paper in an airtight container, for 5 days.
