Ingredients

The following ingredients have 14 Servings
  • 200g / 14 tbsp unsalted butter ((1 3/4 US sticks))
  • 200 g / 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips ((7 oz) (Note 1))
  • 1 cup (175g) brown sugar (, loosely packed )
  • 3 eggs (, lightly beaten)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75g) plain flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 180g/6oz dark chocolate block/bar (optional)
  • 1.5 cups roughly chopped walnuts (or other nuts)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan forced).
  • Spray a 20cm/8" square tin with oil and line with baking/parchment paper with overhang (Note 2).
  • Place butter and chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl, microwave in 30 second bursts (takes me 1m 30 sec) until melted. Stir until smooth.
  • Add sugar and vanilla, mix, then add eggs and mix well until smooth and molten.
  • Add flour, cocoa and salt and stir until smooth. Stir in chopped chocolate, pour into pan.
  • Bake 24 minutes for really gooey in the centre, 28 minutes for fudgey but still very moist (my favourie, shown in video & photos), 32 minutes for moist fudge-cake-like. (See in post for toothpick testphotos).
  • If you didn't use the extra chocolate for stirring in, reduce cook time by 2 minutes.
  • Rest for 10 minutes before lifting out of the pan. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting. Store in an airtight container for 4 days (bet they don't last that long!) or freeze for 3 months.
