How to make chocolate brownies

Packed full of dark chocolate and delicious gooey goodness, this easy brownie recipe never disappoints. Try it at home and treat yourself today!

What you'll need:

250g unsalted butter
360g caster sugar
75g cocoa powder
4 large eggs
75g plain flour
1tsp baking powder
1tsp vanilla extract
175g dark chocolate
50g chopped nuts, optional

Method:

For this chocolate brownie recipe, preheat the oven to 180°C/356°F/Gas Mark 4 and line a square baking tin with greaseproof paper.
In a large bowl over a saucepan of hot water, melt together the dark chocolate and butter. To avoid burning, make sure the chocolate is chopped into similar sized pieces so that it melts evenly. If you’re using chopped nuts, now’s the time to mix them in!
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder, then mix in the sugar and baking powder.
Stir the dry ingredients into the melted chocolate to form your brownie batter.
Add the vanilla extract and beat in the eggs until the batter is smooth.
Transfer the mixture into the lined tin and bake for 25-30 minutes. To bake the perfect gooey brownie recipe, make sure the skewer doesn’t come out clean – you want them to be firm on the outside but soft in the middle.
Allow the brownies to cool in the tin and then carefully bring them out to cut into 20 pieces. Stow any extra portions in the freezer for a rainy-day treat!
