Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the unsalted butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Allow the butter to melt completely, stirring occasionally.
  3. Continue to cook the butter, stirring frequently, until it begins to foam.
  4. Cook until the butter achieves a golden brown color and a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar.
  7. Pour the warm brown butter into the bowl with the sugars.
  8. Whisk together until well combined.
  9. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
  10. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  11. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  12. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon.
  13. Mix just enough to combine without overmixing.
  14. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  15. If using, add the chopped nuts and ensure they are evenly distributed.
  16. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  17. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  18. Optionally, line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
  19. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  20. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  21. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  22. Keep an eye on the cake towards the end of the baking time to avoid overbaking.
  23. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
  24. Carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
  25. Serve the cake as is, or frost it with chocolate frosting for an indulgent treat.
  26. A dusting of powdered sugar also works beautifully.
  27. Slice into squares and enjoy with coffee or tea.
