Ingredients:
• 1 stick butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions:
1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch pie pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
2 Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
3 Add Eggs and Vanilla: By hand, mix in the eggs and vanilla until well combined.
4 Add Dry Ingredients: Add the cocoa powder, salt, and flour, stirring by hand until the batter is smooth. For a fudgy, gooey texture, avoid using an electric mixer here, as it may make the pie more like a brownie or cake.
5 Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are firm.
6 Serve: Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm for the best gooey texture. Enjoy with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired.
Pro Tip: Hand mixing helps create a gooey, fudgy texture, so resist the urge to overmix with a mixer!
