Chocolate Brownie cut into 16 pieces

Chocolate Brownie

If you like your Chocolate Brownie with a chewy exterior and still fudgy on the inside, then this is the Brownie for you. It’s also not too rich so is great for adults and children alike. Delicious on it’s own or served with a dollop of cream or ice-cream.

Equipment

  • Baking paper
  • 20cm cake tin
  • small saucepan
  • hand held mixer

Ingredients

  • 125 g butter salted
  • 125 g dark chocolate
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp cocoa dutch
  • 100 g flour plain

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180º C. Grease a 20cm square cake tin and line bottom with baking paper.
  • Cut butter into small cubes and break chocolate into small pieces. Put the butter and chocolate into a saucepan over low heat, stirring until melted, glossy and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Beat eggs and caster sugar in a large bowl until thick and pale. Stir in cooled melted chocolate mix, flour and cocoa until combined. If using raspberries and walnuts (see notes), add them at this stage too. Pour mixture into the lined cake tin and bake for 30 minutes (If you prefer your brownie more gooey, remove it from the oven a few minutes sooner and if you prefer your brownie more cakey, leave it in a few minutes longer).
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes. Transfer brownie to a wire rack and cool completely. Cut into 16 squares.

Notes

Optional: you can add 100g walnuts or 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries to the brownie.
You can melt the butter and chocolate together in short bursts in your microwave if that’s how you prefer to do it.
Beat the eggs and sugar together well. You want it to be creamy, lighter in colour and thick enough that when you lift your whisk, you can make a little visible trail on the surface when the mixture drips onto it.
Re: Bake times. All ovens are different so please check your bakes before the stated cooking time in a recipe. My oven runs hot, so I often find that my bakes are ready before the stated time. Check your bakes 5-10 mins before. Some ovens may even need a little longer than the stated time.
If you like your brownies a little more ‘gooey’ in the centre, you might want to under bake them by a few minutes. If you prefer them a little more fudgy, then you can bake them closer to, or just over the 30 minute bake time.
