Simple chocolate brownie
Ingredients
- 150 g plain dark chocolate
- 125 g unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 150 g light muscovado sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 125 g self raising flour
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160°c / gas 3. Line a 8in (20.5cm square tin with baking paper and set aside.
- Gently melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, with the butter and 2 tbsp water. Remove the bowl from the pan and cool slightly.
- In the meantime, in a mixing bowl add the sugar and eggs and whisk together light and fluffy, then add the vanilla.
- Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture and combine together.
- Gently fold in the flour and a pinch of salt until all mixed together.
- Pour into the tin and back in the oven for 30-35mins until risen and just firm. The brownie should be gooey in the centre.
- Leave to cool in the tin for 10mins, then cut into squares with a sharp knife. Top tip: when cutting into squares, if you wipe the blade after each cut you will get nice clean cut squares.
