Ingredients
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 egg whites
- 8 egg yolks
- 2 cups flour
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
- 10 oz unsweetened chocolate
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
-
Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
-
In the top pan of a double boiler combine the butter and chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.
-
In a bowl, beat together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is wet and clumpy. Add the whites and mix until homogeneous
-
Stir in the vanilla and the cooled butter-chocolate mixture until no streaks remain; do not overmix. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour, baking powder and salt until just blended, add the chocolate chips, and continue folding.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until when you shake the pan, they no longer jiggle – about 45 minutes.
-
Transfer to a rack and let cool in the pan.
