Hi :D

Amazing recipe but I have some tips! Don't over mix the brownie mixture or it will become cakey and unenjoyable :( If you really can't make them... make some cake instead (It's almost as good lol) !

Hello

It really is more like a cake than a brownie, but it's a yum cake. If you want a brownie, don't make this. If you want a flat cake, this is a good recipe.

Egg free girlie

Would be nice if you had an egg-free version. If you are allergic to eggs and are looking for one, here you are: 1 1/3 cups flour1/3 cup cocoa powder 1 cup sugar (I use less)1/2 a teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon vanilla essence1/2 a cup of oil (rice bran or olive)1/2 cup water.Preheat oven to around 176 Celsius Grease a 8x8 baking tray (or around that size)Pour in brownie mix and flattenPut in oven for 20-25 mins or longer if necessary.

Method

Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Line an 18 x 28cm sponge roll tin with baking paper.

Melt butter in a saucepan large enough to mix all ingredients in. Mix in cocoa, remove from heat and stir in Chelsea White Sugar.

Add eggs and mix well, then add vanilla essence. Sift in Edmonds Standard Grade Flour and Edmonds Baking Powder and mix to combine. Pour into prepared tin.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until brownie springs back when touched lightly.

Additional tips

For a little extra indulgence, add chocolate chips or roughly chopped chocolate to the batter before baking.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know when the brownie is cooked?

Moist, fudgy brownies should have a very slight wiggle in the middle when you take them out of the oven. A skewer inserted into the centre should come out with crumbs attached. If there is a lot of batter on the skewer, the brownie needs to be cooked for longer. A clean skewer generally indicates the brownie is overcooked.

Why is the brownie dry?

Over mixing and over baking can make a brownie dry. Mix the ingredients until only just combined, and monitor closely towards the end of the cooking time.

How do I take a simple chocolate brownie to the next level?

Stir a generous amount of chocolate chunks into the batter before baking. You’ll get an extra fudgy brownie with little pockets of gooey chocolate. To help stop the chocolate sinking, toss chocolate in a sprinkle of flour before mixing in

What should I serve chocolate brownie with?

Chocolate brownie is delicious eaten by itself. Turn it into an epic dessert by serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate, caramel or berry sauce.
