So on this long weekend, we set off on our mission to Chingford, to explore a really large Morrisons. Amongst other things, we got some really nice dark chocolate and pecans , so I decided to make this brownie recipe.

Essentially made out of dark chocolate, this is a very gooey brownie, dark, dense and fudgy in the centre- more fudge than cake . If that’s the way you like your brownie, then do not look else where. This is just the recipe for you.

This is my most favourite brownie recipe- no -fuss and very easy to make. Add the pecans or walnuts for an extra crunch.

Although these brownies are a firm favourite with my friends and family , I must dedicate this recipe to Deep, the young, handsome, adorable teenage son of our family friend , who can single-handedly demolish a whole batch in one go!

Deep, this one is for you!

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C

Step 2

Grease and line a rectangular baking tray.. 9 by 10 inches or 8 by 12 inches should do it.

Step 3

Chop the chocolate.

Step 4

Put the chocolate pieces in a glass bowl sitting on the top of a pan full of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not dip into the water.

Step 5

Add the butter to the chocolate. Let everything melt and then take it off the pan. Set aside.

Step 6

While the chocolate is melting, beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla till you get a thick mixture.

Step 7

Pour in the not so hot chocolate mixture. Stir in the flour and salt. Mix well.

Step 8

Pour into the baking tin and bake for 20--25 minutes. by now, the top should be just about cracking and the centre of the cake is just set.

Step 9

Let cool in the tin.

Step 10

Cut into squares and serve.
