Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2
Prepare a 9 x 9-inch baking pan by buttering it and then lining it with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang to aid in lifting the brownies out of the pan later.
3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and cubed unsalted butter. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stopping to stir every 30 seconds until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
4
Add the salt, vanilla extract, and sugar to the melted chocolate mixture. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until well combined.
5
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
6
Sift the flour into the mixture and fold gently until just blended; be careful not to overmix.
7
Slowly pour in the champagne and mix vigorously for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the batter turns shiny and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
10
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
