Step 1
Combine butter and chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Step 2
Stir sugar into the chocolate mixture until combined. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition until no streaks remain.
Step 3
Sift flour and cocoa powder directly into the bowl. Stir until just combined — do not overmix; a few flour streaks are fine.
Step 4
Pour batter into a parchment-lined 8-inch square microwave-safe dish, spreading level. Microwave on high for 5–6 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Step 5
Let cool in the dish for 5 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
