Dark Chocolate Brownies.



 
Today at work we took part in the ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning’ for Macmillan. All the staff baked some cakes and biscuits for the event and we had all sorts of goodies on offer from lemon drizzle cake to millionaire’s shortbread and cupcakes to chocolate brownies.





They all went down very well and we managed to raise almost £300 in just a couple of hours. It was nice to be involved and it was a good excuse to make chocolate brownies, which I am sharing the recipe with you today.



Dark chocolate brownies.


Ingredients:
400g dark chocolate
250g unsalted butter
3 eggs
250g brown sugar
100g flour
1 tsp. baking powder



Method:
Preheat the oven to 170c and line a large deep baking tin with greaseproof paper
Break up the chocolate and chop up the butter and place them in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until it has all melted. (Make sure you keep 4-5 squares of chocolate back to eat along the way)






Whisk the eggs and then add the sugar and whisk well until the mixture is light and fluffy.





Fold the chocolate and butter mix into the egg and sugar mix, then sieve the flour and baking powder and stir in. Pour the mixture into the large baking tin.





Cook for 35-40 minutes or until the top has set and started to crack and a knife comes out clean when piercing. Leave to cool and serve. Or have warm with some ice cream.
