Gooey Chocolate Brownies
Rich, fudgy brownies with a crackly top — a proper treat.
Ingredients
- 200g dark chocolate, chopped
- 175g butter
- 3 eggs
- 250g sugar
- 100g plain flour
- 30g cocoa powder
- A pinch of salt
Method
- 1Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tin with parchment.
- 2Melt the chocolate and butter together, either in the microwave or over a bain-marie. Let it cool slightly.
- 3Whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and slightly fluffy.
- 4Fold in the melted chocolate mixture, then sift in the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Fold gently until just combined.
- 5Pour into the tin and bake for 25-28 minutes, until the top is crackly but the centre still has a slight wobble.
- 6Let it cool in the tin before slicing into squares.
The secret is slightly underbaking them — they'll firm up as they cool and stay gooey in the middle.
