Servings 12 squares

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g unsalted butter, diced
  • 200 g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 125 g caster sugar
  • 125 g soft light brown sugar
  • 3 eggs, lightly whisked
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • 75 g plain flour
  • 50 g cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 160°c / gas 3. Grease and line a 20.5cm (8in) shallow square baking tin.
  • Combine the butter and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Place the bowl on top of a saucepan of gently simmering water and melt the butter and chocolate, stirring occasionally.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar with an electric whisk until the mixture has doubled in volume and looks pale, usually around 5-8 mins.
  • Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, add the vanilla extract and fold together.
  • Sift in the flour and cocoa on top of the mixture and fold in gently.
  • Pour into the tin and bake for 25-30mins until just set on top and a knife comes out a little wet from the middle. Remove from the oven and let the brownie cool in the tin for an hour before turning out onto a chopping board. Cut into 12 square using a sharp knife.
