Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and sugars until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips or chunks.
- In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, dark molasses, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, gin extract, and milk or cream until smooth.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Swirl in half of the glaze mixture and then pour the remaining brownie batter on top. Repeat the swirls with the remaining glaze.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool, garnish with flaky sea salt and candied ginger before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet.
- Ensure the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing.
