CHOCOLATE BROWNIE

MY BEST EVER BROWNIE 

This is one of those recipes that you come across that just works, not only that, the recipe is simple and results in an amazing moist chocolate brownie cake, that I am made to appear to be an amazing cook, more than I am, because believe me I do not do cakes very well...

 

 

INGREDIENTS

(makes 12) 

90g butter

3 tbsp cocoa powder

225g caster sugar

2 eggs

100g self raising flour

 

250g soft creamy cheese

1 tsp vanilla bean paste

(mix the two together)

 

Fudge topping

150g Green & Blacks plain chocolate

75g butter

 

 

Beat the eggs and sugar together until light, pale and fluffy.  Melt the butter and mix in the chocolate powder, gently add to the eggs and sugar  mix and then fold in the flour gently. 

 

 

 Pour half of the chocolate batter into your pan then layer on the vanilla cream cheese, pour over the rest of the brownie batter covering the cream cheese layer.  Bake at 190 degrees for 30-40 minutes until risen and springy to the touch, leave to cool in the tin.  Once cooled turn out and top with the chocolate fudge.

 

TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE FUDGE

Melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl over a simmering pan of water, leave to cool and thicken, then top the brownie.  Once the fudge topping has set cut the block into oblong cakes.
