Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) for fan or 170°C (338°F) for conventional. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Combine dark chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Stir gently for 5-7 minutes until melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat room-temperature eggs with caster and demerara sugar on high for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Sift together plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Add chocolate chips if using.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs. Add the dry ingredients and fold until just combined.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the batter onto the prepared baking tray, spacing them well apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes until tops are set and edges are firm.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt, and cool on the tray for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
For best results, ensure the butter is melted but not hot to avoid spreading. Use gentle folding techniques to maintain chewiness.
