This recipe is for a Brownie mixture for a layer cake, click here if you want the recipe for brownie bars.
I love Brownies, they are so easy to prepare, secret…. mix by hand.
5oz (150gr) of unsalted butter
4oz (125gr) of chocolate
4 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1cup of brown sugar
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
~Do not preheat the oven, prepare a sheet (28 x 18 cm) (11 x 7 inch) cover with baking paper.
Chop the chocolate and the butter, use a heat proof bowl and put the bowl in a pan of steaming water, stir until the chocolate melts; do not cook the chocolate. (Alternatively you can use the microwave; chop the chocolate in tiny pieces add the butter and put it in the microwave at high power for 1 min, stir and if it’s not melted try 10 more seconds seconds, stir and repeat until it melts).
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, add the sugar and the vanilla essence. Add the chocolate and whisk by hand. Add the sifted flour and fold until the flour disappears. Do not over beat. Pour the mix in the previously prepared baking sheet and place in the oven.
Turn the oven on (400F) (200C). cook for 15′, then drop the temperature down to 350 F (180 C) and cook for other 15 min.
How to know when it is done? Easy, the edges should be detached from the pan wall.
