Ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter + more for greasing the pan
2/3 cup dark chocolate
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup unbleached white flour or spelt flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa or cacao powder
2 large eggs
1-inch fresh ginger, grated
2/3 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions:

Butter an 8 × 8 inch square baking dish. Line the dish with parchment paper, with some overlap on the sides. Butter the bottom of the parchment paper. Preheat an oven to 325°F.
In a medium saucepan, melt together the chocolate and butter over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and beat in the sugar, flour, cocoa or cacao, eggs, fresh ginger, vanilla, nutmeg, ground ginger, sea salt and ground cloves.
Transfer to the prepared dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let the brownies in the dish cool for 10 minutes, lift out with the parchment paper, and cool for another 15 minutes on a wire rack. Cut into squares and serve.
