8 ounces, weight Bittersweet Chocolate, Broken Into Pieces
1 stick Unsalted Butter, Cut Into Pieces [plus More For Buttering Pan]
1 cup Granulated Sugar
3/4 cups Dark Brown Sugar
1-1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
1/3 cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Plus More For Dusting, I Like Penzy's Natural High Fat Cocoa
1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
3/4 teaspoons To 1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper, Or More To Taste
4 whole Eggs At Room Temperature
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, To Serve (optional)

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease your 8x8 pan with a bit of butter and line pan with parchment.
2
In a sauce pan, place the broken chocolate and butter. Melt over low heat, stirring often. Once melted, remove from the heat and add both sugars, stir and set aside.
3
Next sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and cayenne into a large bowl and set aside.
4
Into the slightly warm chocolate add in one egg at a time whisking after adding each additional egg. Then add spoonfuls of the flour/cocoa mixture into it and stir with a spatula until smooth.
5
Pour batter into prepared 8x8 pan and bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. For more fudgy brownies, the tester should come out slightly coated with a thicker coat of chocolate batter, but it shouldn't be runny.
6
Remove from oven and let cool, then remove from pan. Sprinkle with reserved cocoa powder and cut into desired size. If making a spicier brownie, you may want to consider keeping them a little on the small side.
7
Serve with vanilla bean ice cream if desired.
8
*If using a 9x13 pan, bake for 20-25 minutes and test for desired doneness.
