Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 175 gram butter salted
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 3/4 cup cake flour sifted
- 2 tablespoon cocoa sifted
- 150 grams good quality dark chocolate chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
- Lightly grease a 23 x 23cm square baking pan and line with parchment paper, you will need the paper slighly overlapping the pan for easy removal
- Place the chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl and melt for 50 seconds or more if required. Set aside
- Place the eggs, vanilla essence and sugar in a bowl and using an electric mixer beat until it doubles in volume, for about 3 minutes, on a medium speed
- Slowly drizzle in the chocolate mixture and keep beating until everything is incorporated, about 10 seconds
- Sprinkle the sifted flour on top and beat for another 8 seconds. Add the chopped chocolate and use a spatula and give it a quick mix
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes until it's just set. If a toothpick is inserted it should come out a little dirty. It will continue cooking in the hot pan once it is out of the oven.
- Remove and cool in the pan until it reaches room temperature, about 30 minutes . Cut into 16 pieces.
Notes
- You can adjust the time in the oven, depending on the texture you prefer. I wanted a cake like texture brownie so I baked it for 35 minutes. You can try 30 minutes if you want it more gooey, fudge like texture
- You can increase the amount of cocoa powder with an extra two tablespoons if you wish to omit the slab of chocolate.
