About this dish
Toasted black sesame powder goes into a dark chocolate brownie batter, adding a nutty, roasted-grain note to the bitterness of the chocolate.

Because the powder is oily and clumps easily, it is sifted in with the flour and salt. Cut only once the pan is completely cold for clean edges.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 175C and line an 18x18cm square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy lifting after baking.
- 2
Melt 90g unsalted butter and 110g dark chocolate together in a heatproof bowl set over barely simmering water, stirring until smooth, then remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
- 3
Whisk 2 eggs and 90g sugar in a bowl until the sugar dissolves completely, then stir in 3ml vanilla extract and the cooled chocolate mixture.
- 4
Sift in 55g cake flour, 30g black sesame powder, and 1g salt, then fold with a spatula in J-shaped strokes only until no dry flour remains, minimizing gluten development for a fudgy texture.
- 5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread with a spatula all the way to the corners so the surface is completely level.
- 6
Bake at 175C for 20 to 25 minutes; remove when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, then cool completely before slicing for a fudgy interior.
