Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar, or to taste (Optional)

Directions

  • Step 1:
    Grease and flour an 8x8-inch square pan.
  • Step 2:
    Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Step 3:
    Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs until a smooth batter forms. Beat in chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture until just incorporated; fold in walnuts. Spread batter into the prepared pan.
  • Step 4:
