So over Christmas and New Year I was bombarded with requests for Chocolate Brownies. There is nothing quite like the warm, gooey deliciousness that is the Chocolate Brownie!
I have tried so many recipes in the past but they were just too cakey and believe it or not alot of recipes don't actually contain chocolate just lots of cocoa powder which can make them quite dry and nothing like the brownies we all know and love.
So I developed a recipe that contained a bit of both: Packed with chocolatey goodness and enough cakey qualities to be able to pick up this American treat with ease.
These make great gifts popped in a cellophane bag and tied with a pretty ribbon
So here it is my recipe for My Uber Gooey Super Chocolate Brownies:
Ingredients:
- 65g Plain Flour (sifted)
- 250g Salted Butter (chopped into cubes)
- 200g 70% Cocoa Dark Chocolate (chopped)
- 80g Cocoa Powder (sifted)
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder
- 360g Caster Sugar
- 4 Large Eggs
- Pre-heat the oven to 180oC
- Grease and line a square cake tin with baking paper
- In a bowl over simmering water melt the butter and the chocolate together
- In a seperate bowl mix together the dry ingredients
- Once chocolate and butter mix has thoroughly melted gradually add in the dry mixture a little at a time until completely combined. (It may look a little grainy at this stage but that is absolutely fine)
- Now add in one egg at a time thoroughly mixing making sure each egg is fully incorporated
- Once the mix is silky smooth pour the brownie mixture into the greased and lined cake tin
- Bake for 30-35 minutes
- Test with a skewer, the skewer should still have some mixture on it as you want these nice and gooey
- Once cooled completely, remove from cake tin and cut into squares.
Enjoy!
Until next time...
