tried and tested chocolate brownie recipe please

Zebedee, 27 June, 2009 at 19:13 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 6

The last few times I've made chocolate brownies they've ended up more like sponge cake than brownies. I'm following my recipe (BeRo cookbook), and cooking for the shorter end of the time, but they've still gone past the sticky, fudgy stage.

So any t&t recipes for me to try?

Thanks.

    BROWNIE RECIPE

    100g unsalted butter

    75g caster sugar

    75g dark muscovado sugar

    125g dark chocolate

    1 tbsp golden syrup

    2 eggs

    1 tsp chocolate or vanilla flavouring

    100g plain flour

    2 tbsp cocoa powder

    1/2 tsp baking powder

    1. Lightly grease 20cm shallow square cake tin and line the base.

    2. Place the butter, sugars, dark chocolate and golden syrup in a heavy based saucepan and heat gently, stirring until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Remove from heat and leave to cool.

    3. Beat eggs and flavouring together. Whisk in the cooled chocolate mixture.

    4. Sieve together the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder and fold carefully into the egg and chocolate mixture using a metal spoon or spatula.

    5. Spoon mixture into prepared tin and bake in preheated over, 180C for 25 minutes until the top is crisp and the edge of the cake is beginning to shrink away from the tin. The inside of the cake will still be quite stodgy and soft to the touch.

    6. Leave to cool completely in the tin then cut into squares to serve.

    Makes 9.

    NB - can be frozen for up to 2 months.

    This recipe is amazing, everyone loves it. The trick to the fudginess, the school chef tells me (he made 200 last saturday for us) is to fold the flour in super slow and gentle. Hope you enjoy :-P

    I use the Nigella one and it's never failed. Half quantities work better than full though.
