Method
step 1
Preheat the oven to 190C.step 2
Melt the butter over a gentle heat in a medium sized saucepan. When it’s melted, add the sugar, stirring with a wooden spoon (still over a low heat to help it blend with the melted butter.)step 3
Sift together the cocoa powder, flour, bicarb, salt and then stir into the pan; when mixed (this will be a very dry mixture, and not wholly blended at this stage), remove from the heat.step 4
Whisk the eggs with the vanilla extract and then mix into the brownie mixture in the pan.step 5
Stir in the chopped chocolate and quickly pour and scrape into a baking tin and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes.step 6
It will look set, dark and dry on top, but when you feel the surface, you will sense it is still wobbly underneath and a cake tester will come out gooey. This is desirable.
