This squidgy brownie is quick to make and ideal for the family. It's not too rich, yet has plenty of chocolate flavour.
Ingredients
- 150 grams milk or dark chocolate, chopped
- 150 grams butter, softened
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- ¾ cup flour, sifted
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- ½ cup hazelnuts, pecans or walnuts, toasted and chopped
- ¼ cup milk
Method
- Preheat the oven to 160ºC. Grease and line a 20cm square cake tin.
- Heat the chocolate in the microwave on high power (100%) for 1½ minutes or until melted. Cool.
- Beat the butter and sugar until very light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the cooled chocolate and vanilla.
- Carefully fold in the sifted flour and cocoa and the nuts alternately with the milk.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared cake tin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre of the brownie comes out almost clean. The centre should still be a little cakey.
- Cool in the tin on a cake rack for 1 hour before turning out and cutting into squares. Dust with icing sugar, if wished. Keep in an airtight container.
