Fudgy Dark Chocolate Brownies
These brownies come out dense and fudgy rather than cakey, which is how most people want them. Don't overbake — take them out while the middle still has a slight wobble and let them set as they cool. They're better the next day, if they last.
Ingredients
Makes 9 servings
- 194g Dark chocolate
- 155g Butter
- 212g Caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- 97g Plain flour
- 39g Cocoa powder
- 9ml Vanilla essence
Method
- Preheat oven to 170°C. Melt chocolate and butter together, then cool slightly. Whisk in sugar, eggs and vanilla until combined.
- Fold in sifted flour, cocoa and a good pinch of salt until just smooth — do not overmix.
- Pour into a greased and lined 20×20cm tin and bake 18–22 minutes until the edges are set but the centre still has a slight wobble.
- Cool in the tin before cutting into squares. They firm up as they cool.
