stardewdreamingHi, hello, good evening! I hope you've all had/are having a lovely day
I love baking - and my friends and colleagues love it when I bake too. And a firm favourite of all of ours is a classic chocolate brownie. It's so tasty, and they're actually really easy to make so I thought I'd share the recipe that I use to get that perfect chewy gooey brownie.
This brownie recipe uses a square tin, but you can use an oblong or even round cake tin provided it is roughly the same size – just keep an eye on the brownies, you may need slightly less or more time than the recipe says
1 Ingredients
100g butter, chopped
200g dark chocolate, chopped
4 eggs
250g golden caster sugar
100g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
30g cocoa
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
Line a 22cm square brownie tin with baking parchment.
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a microwave or in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Cool to room temperature.
Whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and sift on the flour, baking powder and cocoa.
Fold this in to give a fudgy batter.
You can add some extra ingredients here to if you want. I'll sometimes add things like 100g chopped white or milk chocolate chunks, or 100g toasted, roughly chopped hazelnuts OR 2 handfuls of baby marshmallows.
This is the bit where you experiment and have fun!
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is cracked but the middle just set. Cool completely, then lift out of the tin and cut.
