Ingredients;
250 g brown sugar sugar 250 g butter 250 g dark chocolate (70%) 3 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk 60 g flour 60 g finest quality cocoa powder ½ tsp baking powder
Instructions;
1. Prepare a baking tin, about 23 cm x 23 cm, preferably non-stick, or a small roasting tin. Set the oven at 180°C/Gas 4. Line the bottom of the baking tin with baking parchment.
2. Put the sugar and butter into a bowl/mixer and beat for several minutes till white and fluffy. If doing it by hand, keep going until the mixture is really soft and creamy.
3. Break the dark chocolate into pieces, set 50 g of it aside and melt the rest in a bowl suspended over, but not touching, a pan of simmering water. As soon as the chocolate has melted remove it from the heat. Chop the remaining 50 g into gravel-sized pieces.
4. Break the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly with a fork. Sift together the flour, cocoa and baking powder and mix in a pinch of salt. With the food mixer running slowly, add in the beaten eggs, a little at a time, speeding up in between additions. Remove the bowl from the mixer to your working surface, then mix in the melted and the chopped chocolate with a large metal spoon.
5. fold in the flour and cocoa, gently and firmly, without knocking any of the air out. Scrape the mixture into the prepared cake tin, smooth the top and bake for 30 minutes. If it appears a bit wet or sticky when you check if it's ready don't worry. It's perfect!
Note; you can add crushed nuts and decorate to your liking.
