easy chocolate brownies

An easy chocolate brownie recipe using real chocolate and rich cocoa powder. Moist and fudgy with just the right gooey centre and a beautiful flakey crust. 

Easy Chocolate Brownies

250 g (8 oz) dark chocolate (bittersweet chocolate, 68%

300 g (1 1/3 cup) caster sugar (superfine sugar)

250 g (2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons) butter, softened

60 g (1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons) plain flour (all-purpose flour)

cocoa powder

baking powder

salt

eggs

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) (without fan).

Line a 23 cm (9 inch) square baking tin with baking paper.

Melt 200 g (7 oz) of the chocolate in a bain-marie and set aside to cool slightly.

Chop the remaining chocolate into small chunks.

Beat the sugar and butter together until it is pale and fluffy. I like to do this with an electric stand mixer.

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl.

Add the eggs one at a time, together with a tablespoon of the dry ingredients.

Fold in the remaining dry ingredients and the chopped chocolate pieces.

Pour the mixture into the baking tin and smooth out the batter with an off-set spatula.

Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes. A skewer inserted in the middle of the cake should come out sticky but not with raw cake mixture attached to it. The cake will also continue to cook as it cools.

Leave the cake to cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Great recipe. Absolutely love this method.  Looks so good. I want to try it.

I made these brownies to take to work and they disappeared in seconds! Next time I will make two batches. I used Lindt 70% dark chocolate which was not cheap but the brownies were rich and moist, just perfect. Thanks for the recipe.
