Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) so we can get that chocolate-y goodness baking soon! In a large mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Once it’s melted, whisk in the granulated sugar until smooth, and then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Don’t forget to stir in the vanilla extract—it adds a wonderful aroma that makes my kitchen feel so inviting! This mixture should be nice and creamy. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
