  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest

  2. Use the wrapper from the stick of butter to grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
