Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: Line your 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with butter.
  3. Step 3: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and 50g of unsalted butter together in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, egg, and melted chocolate-butter mixture until well combined. Add 35g of flour and mix until just incorporated.
  5. Step 5: In another bowl, cream together 120g of unsalted butter and 100g of sugar until light and fluffy. Add 2 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually add the remaining 120g of flour and baking powder. Pour in the fresh milk and mix until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Gently fold the brownie batter into the cake batter until well combined.
  7. Step 7: Pour the combined batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Step 8: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • For a more decadent cake, top with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
