Ingredients:
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix well by hand until fully combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, salt, and flour. Stir by hand until everything is well combined. Tip: Mixing by hand ensures a gooey texture. Using a mixer will give it a more cake-like consistency.
- Prepare the Pan: Grease an 8-inch pie pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set. The edges should be firm, but the middle should remain slightly gooey.
- Serve: Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
Tips:
- For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the pie (around 30 minutes).
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for a fancy touch.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
