Chocolate Brownies

Howzit

This is my all time favourite dessert, easy to make and oh so decadent.  I love chocolate and these brownies satisfies my cravings completely. 

250g Butter

200g Dark chocolate 70 - 85%, broken up

80g walnuts, toasted

70g cocoa powder, sifted

75g plain flour, sifted

1 teaspoon baking powder

250g Sugar

4 large eggs, beaten

Set the oven to 180°C
Baking time 20-25min

Melt the butter and chocolate. I placed a steel bowl over a pot of boiling water. Once melted let it cool.

                              

Toast the nuts in the oven for about 10min

Sift the dry ingredients, mix well. Flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder.

Add the nuts, melted chocolate mixture and beaten eggs to the dry ingredient, mix well until it is smooth.

Line a baking tin with oven paper

    

 Pour the mixture into the tin and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25min.

                                 

Brownies, unlike cake, should be a bit sticky and moist, the toothpick shouldn't come out clean. Let it cool then cut into squares and sprinkle with some iceing sugar.

                                 

Mmmmmn Buon Appetito!

I enjoyed mine with some cream ice-cream and extra nuts.
