These triple chocolate fudgy brownies are outrageously tempting, especially when eaten warm from the oven.
Ingredients
- dark chocolate: 275g/10oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
- butter: 275g/10oz unsalted butter
- pecans: 85g/3oz pecans, broken into pieces
- milk chocolate: 85g/3oz milk chocolate, cut into large chunks
- white chocolate: 85g/3oz white chocolate, cut into large chunks
- plain flour: 175g/6oz plain flour
- baking powder: 1 tsp baking powder
- eggs: 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
- vanilla extract: 1 tsp vanilla extract
- caster sugar: 325g/12oz caster sugar
Method
Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas3. Line a 30x20x3.5cm/12x8x1½in tin with lightly buttered greaseproof paper or foil.
Put the plain chocolate and butter in a large bowl, place over a pan of simmering water and allow to melt.
Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl and set aside. Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and stir in the sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla essence. Fold in the flour, nuts and chocolate.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared cake tin. Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The top should be firm but the inside should feel soft when cooked. Allow to cool in the tin. Remove the brownies from the tin and cut into squares.
