Makes a Square Cake Worth (Cut into smaller squares)

Resist the urge to eat the mixture (Difficult, I know)

200g Butter, cubed at room temperature
100g Plain Flour
50g Cocoa Powder
200g Dark Chocolate, broken to small pieces
100g Milk Chocolate, cubed
Pinch of Salt
3 Eggs
250g Golden Caster Sugar

1. Preheat oven to 180/160 fan assisted. Line a square 20cm (8 inch) with greaseproof paper. Heat water in a pan. Place a bowl over the pan, add the butter and dark chocolate. Mix well until combined. Leave to cool.

2. While the mixture cools, in another bowl sift the flour and cocoa powder in a bowl then add the sugar and salt. Mix until combined. Add the eggs and stir.

3. When the chocolate mix has cooled enough, gradually add the melt dark chocolate mix to the flour mix. Stir until all has combined.

4. Either mix in the milk chocolate pieces and pour into the cake tin OR pour the mixture into the cake tin and scatter the milk chocolate. Bake in the oven for 25 - 30 minutes. You should be able to poke the centre of the brownie with a toothpick and it should come out clear. Enjoy by themselves or with ice cream and/or cream.

Nice Warm with Cream
