The Ultimate Chocolate Brownie

The Ultimate Chocolate Brownie
~~~~~
If you love the squidgy, fudgy really chocolatey type of brownie then this is the perfect recipe for you.  If you love coffee then there is an option to add coffee to these making them mocha brownies.  I added 1/2 a tsp of coffee and I didn't really taste coffee at all but you can add as much or as little coffee as you like, depending on how strong a coffee flavour you want.  However, with or without the coffee, these are absolutely amazing chocolate brownies especially with the addition of the white chocolate chunks which melt throughout them making them extra chocolatey!!!

Ingredients:

~100g butter

~200g plain chocolate broken into pieces

~4 eggs

~250g caster sugar

~2 tbsp powdered coffee (optional)

~30g cocoa powder

~100g plain flour

~1tsp baking powder

~100g white chocolate chunks (optional)
~ 20cm square Tin (I used a 20/26cm tin)
 

Method:

1.  Heat oven to 180 degrees C.  Line a 20cm square tin with baking parchment.

2.  Place the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt together in the microwave or a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.  Once melted and combined leave to cool a little. 

3.  Whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Then beat the cooled chocolate mixture into the whisked eggs and sugar. 

4.  Mix the cocoa, flour and baking powder together.

5.  Use just enough boiling water to melt the coffee (if using), leave to cool slightly. 

6.  Pour the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture and gently stir together.  Then pour in the dissolved coffee and gently stir in.

7.  Next stir in the white chocolate chunks (if using).

8.  Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 25-30 mins until just set but still a little squidgy in the centre. 

9.  Leave to cool in the tin, then lift out and cut into squares and ENJOY!!!!

Happy Baking
