Fudgy Chocolate Brownie

I remember the first time I had a fudge brownie it was from Mrs Fields.  She makes the best cookies and brownies.  Her fudge brownies are like eating a chocolate bar.  Brownies are easy to make and I love the smell it leaves throughout the house.  It smells so good.

What I love about making brownies is that if you overcook it, it still taste delicious.  Instead of having a fudge brownie you end up with a cakey brownie.  That's hopefully if you didn't eat most of the raw brownie mixture before putting it into the oven.

Fudgy Chocolate Brownie

Ingredients

· 200gm dark chocolate, chopped
· 250gm butter
· 1¼ cups brown sugar
· 4 eggs
· ¾ cups plain flour
· ¼ teaspoon baking powder
· ⅓ cup cocoa powder

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.

2. Line a 17cm rectangle brownie tin with baking paper. Making sure to extend the baking paper about 2cm over the tin.

3. Place butter and chocolate in a saucepan and

melt over low heat until melted. Allow it to cool slightly and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

4. Stir in the brown sugar until combined.  Add one egg at a time and mix until combined.  Add the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder mixture half at a time and stir until all combined. Spread brownie mixture into lined tin.

5. Bake in oven for 22-25 minutes or until the skewer comes out with a few moist crumbles. Keep checking every two minutes. Remove from oven and allowing it to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Tips 

· Make sure the melted chocolate and butter mixture is not hot when you add the eggs as you might cook the eggs.

· Chewy brownies are made using brown sugar but if you don’t want the brownies to be chewy you can use castor sugar or granulated sugar instead.

· You can add a pinch of salt for extra flavour.

· Once you have the brownie mixture you can

add walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts or chocolate chunks for a bit of added texture to the cooked brownie.

· Make sure the brownie has completely cooled down before cutting it. Dip a large knife into some warm/hot water or run it under some hot water and wipe the knife in between cutting the brownie into squares.
