Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup of plain flour 100g
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar 200g
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1 stick unsalted butter 113g
  • 6oz dark chocolate 170g
  • 1/4 cup dutch process cocoa powder 20g
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • We’re going to keep this easy to make and bake. First you’ll need a large size glass mixing bowl and place it over a saucepan with simmering hot water. Now place the dark chocolate pieces into the mixing bowl along with the stick of unsalted butter and stir occasionally as it melts. Once that’s melted nicely take the bowl off the heat and wipe off any water and condensation underneath your bowl otherwise this can make the chocolate seize.
  • Grab a whisk and gently pour in the granulated white sugar little by little while mixing it to melt the sugar into the hot buttery chocolate mixture. smells tempting already doesn’t it?
  • Now let’s add in the eggs. We’ll add in one egg at a time while mixing it into the brownie batter. Be sure that each one is properly mixed before adding in the next egg.
  • To give this more depth and flavour we’re going to now add in some normal Dutch process cocoa powder. This will increase the chocolatey taste once we finish and also give it that awesome dark colour that takes this recipe to the next level.
  • Let’s add in the salt, feel free to adjust this accordingly to your own taste and preference. Around half a teaspoon works well in most cases and will help to really kick the flavour up a notch!
  • Now for the final ingredient, we’re going to fold in the Plain Flour little by little until it is clump free and mixed in properly. We have chosen this particular quantity of all purpose Flour to give it more of a chewy and fudgy taste. Be sure to mix in everything from the sides of your bowl to prevent getting any Flour pockets and avoid streaking in the batter.
  • For the final step you’ll need a baking tray with some oiled or buttered parchment baking paper inside. Pre-heat your oven to around 350 degrees F / 180 C while we finish this last step. An 8 by 8 inch tray will work perfectly for this heavenly dessert. Go ahead and pour in the batter into the tray and spread it out until its evenly and level. We want to bake this in the oven for around 35 minutes.
  • Once it’s finishing baking, take it out and place it somewhere to cool down properly. Once it’s cooled, lift it out of the baking tray and lift it gently off the parchment paper. Now it’s ready to slice and serve. Cutting this into 8 portions works well. Enjoy!
