Baking | Chocolate Brownies

If there's one thing I love more than baking it's eating baked goods. Recently I've been making brownies and I thought it was only fair to share the brownie love a.k.a. the recipe.

Ingredients 

175g Unsalted butter

100g Self-raising flour

250g Caster sugar

40g Cocoa power

90g Chocolate

20g Chocolate (for chocolate chips)
1tsp Vanilla extract

3 Medium eggs

Method

- Preheat the oven to 180⁰C, gas mark 4

- Grease and line the base and sides of your square cake tin with greaseproof paper or simply use butter

- Stir together the coco powder, sugar and flour

- Gently melt the butter with the chocolate and allow to cool

- Beat the eggs in with the dry ingredients

- Stir in the melted butter, chocolate and vanilla extract

- Cut some small chunks of chocolate and add to the mixture

- Pour into a greased tin making sure the mixture reaches the sides

- Bake for 30 mins (a knife should come out clean)

- Optional, sieve icing sugar over the top for finishing touches

I normally cut them 5x5 and then take them about with a spatula, then dust with icing sugar. I find this recipe super easy and they don't require any fancy spancy icing that you might mess up. Also if you burn the top a little bit you just cover it with icing powder and no one will know.

Happy baking! 

Til next time
