Ingredients
- 215 g caster sugar
- 160 g brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 200 g butter salted, melted
- 150 g plain flour
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 250 g dark chocolate block, broken up into squares
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170C and line a brownie tin (approx 33cm x 23cm in size)
- Add the caster sugar, brown sugar and melted butter to a bowl and whisk for 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla and whisk for a further minute.
- Add the cocoa, plain flour and salt and mix with a spatula until 90% combined. Add the chocolate and mix again until everything is just combined. It's important not to over mix as it will add too much air to the brownies and stop them from being fudgey.
- Transfer the mixture to a brownie tin and flatten out with a spatula. Bake for 35 - 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out mostly clean.
- Allow to cool then slice into 12 squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Don't Overmix: Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the brownies fudgy and dense.
- Check Doneness Early: Start checking the brownies at the 30-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
