Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 150 grams 85% cocoa solids dark chocolate
  • 170 grams butter
  • 3 large free-range eggs
  • 150 grams caster sugar
  • 150 grams dark muscovado sugar
  • 100 grams ground almonds
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 85 grams walnuts

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 180 C/350 F. Lightly grease a 9 inch baking tin and place a piece of baking paper on the bottom.
  • Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a heat proof bowl along with the butter. Suspend the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and leave to melt.
  • Beat the eggs with a whisk in a large bowl until they are lemon coloured.
  • Gradually add the sugars, beating continuously, until the mixture is thick (about 3 minutes).
  • Stir in the melted chocolate mixture and the vanilla extract.
  • Fold in the ground almonds and the chopped walnuts.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 35 minutes (for a really gooey brownie) or 40 minutes if you prefer a less gooey variety.
  • Leave to cool completely in the tin before removing and cutting into squares.
