A cafe style, very chocolate-y chocolate brownie. Cooking time is between 55- 65 minutes at 150 degrees. If it's a fan forced oven or if you prefer a more gooey brownie, cook for the lesser time and for a firm dense chocolate slice, cook for the maximum time (slightly easier to cut too). Both delicious.
Ingredients
100 grams cocoa
200 grams melted butter
400 grams castor sugar (or equivalent 2 cups)
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
90 grams flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
200 grams chocolate chips/or whole bars broken up, can be a mixture of milk and dark chocolate depending on desired richness (can also use slightly less for this reason too).
Preheat the oven to 150 C. Line a rectangular baking tin (20cmx30cm) or deep roasting tray with non stick paper.
Sift the cocoa into a large mixing bowl. Add the melted butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
Mix to a smooth paste. Sift in the flour and baking powder and then add the broken up bits of chocolate. Fold and mix in well. Pour mixture into the tray.
Bake in preheated oven at 150 C for 65 minutes or 55 minutes for fan bake.
