1 Cup - 200 grams - Blanched and Pureed Kale - From 1 large bunch
1 ¼ Cup - 215 grams Whole Wheat Flour
2 tablespoon - 18 grams of Cocoa powder
1 ½ Cups - 230 grams Dark Brown Sugar
250 Grams of Chocolate - Approximate 1 ½ Cups - I used a combination of Dark (90 grams and Milk chocolate (160 grams))
1 cup Unsalted Butter - 227 grams
A teaspoon salt Skip if using Salted Butter
4 medium eggs at room temperature
2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Water for Blanching Kale

Clean the kale. Discard any thick and hard stems.
Wash the kale nicely in running water.
In a bowl, add ice-cold water and keep it aside.
In a large pot, add sufficient water and let it come to a quick boil.
Once it starts boiling, add the cleaned and washed kale to it.
Immerse for 1-2 minute and then remove the kale and add it into the ice-cold water.
This will stop the cooking process of kale.
Let it sit for 4-5 minutes.
Now drain the excess water in a colander and puree the kale in a blender.
Keep it aside.

In a heatproof bowl, either microwave or use a double boiler to melt the chocolate and butter.

Add the butter and chocolate in a microwave safe bowl.
Start it for 1 minute and mix the butter and chocolate.
Later microwave it in a short burst of 15 seconds and mix it until the chocolate and butter are melted.

Boil water in a pot.
Put a heatproof bowl on top of it. The size of the bowl should be such that it should sit on top of the pot and not go inside it.
Add in the chocolate and butter.
Stir it until it is melted and smooth.
Let the mixture cool to room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 180 Deg C.
Line your baking tray with parchment paper or grease it with some butter.
In a bowl sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Once the chocolate and butter mixture is cooled to room temperature, add eggs one at a time and beat it into the mixture.
Once all 4 eggs are added, add in the vanilla essence and kale puree and mix it.
Now add the sugar and mix it gently.
Add in the flour mixture and gently fold it in. Do not overmix.
Pour the mixture in the baking tray.
Bake in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
