1. Prep Work
Grease and line a 30cm x 21cm baking tin. Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-assisted, gas mark 4).
2. Chocolate Mixture
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 375g of dark chocolate and 375g of butter. Melt in the microwave on medium power for about 5 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure a smooth texture.
3. Batter Mix
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well incorporated. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Sift in the flour and beat the mixture until fully combined and smooth.
4. Baking
Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the surface is papery and the center feels slightly wobbly to the touch. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the tin.
5. Chocolate Topping (Optional)
For the topping, melt the additional 140g of dark chocolate and 50g of butter in the microwave on medium power for about 1 minute. Stir the mixture until it achieves a smooth consistency. Spread the melted chocolate over the cooled brownies.
6. Finishing Touches
Dust the chocolate-topped brownies with icing sugar. Cut the brownies into 24 squares and serve.
Opt for high-quality chocolate with a cacao content of at least 60-70% for a deep, rich taste.
Check brownies a few minutes early for moist crumbs on a toothpick for perfect doneness.
Gently fold in flour and cocoa powder until just combined to avoid overmixing and a tough texture.
Use one to ensure the correct baking temperature and avoid over. or under-baking.
Beat until pale and fluffy for a crackly top, essential for texture.
