Ingredients

  • 180g dark chocolate
  • 150g unsalted Butter
  • 125g caster sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 150g plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 30 g dark chocolate, chopped into small chunks

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°/Gas 4. Grease the baking tin and line the base with baking paper.

2. Break the 180g dark chocolate into squares. Place in a heatproof bowl suspended over a pan of simmering water and allow the chocolate to melt.

3. Add the butter to the melted chocolate. Stir until the butter has melted and blended with the chocolate. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar.

4. Beat the eggs. Stir the beaten eggs into the melted chocolate mixture, mixing well. In a separate mixing bowl sieve the flour and baking powder. Slowly fold in the chocolate mixture. Stir in the chocolate chunks.

5. Transfer the mixture into the greased, lined baking tin. Bake for 25-30 minutes until it is just firm to the touch in the centre.

6. Remove from the oven, cool slightly, turn out and cool on a wire rack. Slice into 16 squares.

I made these and they were terrible. They didnt rise and they burnt a bit (my fault)Reading that the measurements might be wrong cheers me up actually.

i think the 150g flour is right because 50g seems far too small for 16 fat brownies and the daily xpress probably has a misprint and forgotten the 1 on 150g

Recipe shows 150g of plain flour,this recipe appeared in the Daily Express sometime ago and only had 50g of flour,which is right?What size baking tin?
