Instructions

2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
3. Add eggs and vanilla, mix until well combined.
4. Stir in cocoa powder and salt.
5. Then, gently fold in the flour and cornstarch until just combined (don't over mix).
6. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
7. Bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean/with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
8. Let the brownies cool completely.
9. To make the ganache, melt the chocolate and heavy cream together. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
