Happy Easter!!! What better way to spend a rainy Easter Saturday than baking brownies and listening to Al Green, with my little Sous Chef Dash!!
In the spirit of Easter, I thought today’s baking post should most definitely be chocolate themed!!
Poor little fella really wanted to sample the goods, but unfortunately wasn’t so lucky!! No chocolate for this bubba!!
I used this recipe by Jamie Oliver – to make it super chocolately I used Lindt 70% Dark Chocolate, and dutch coca (it’s Easter time after all!!). They were easy to make, and tasted delicious (although extremely rich!!)
Ingredients
- 250 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams Lindt 70% cocoa dark chocolate
- 80 grams cocoa powder
- 65 grams plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 360 grams caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- ** you can also add additional ingredients such as raspberries, walnuts or whatever you fancy!!!
Method
- Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease and line a square brownie tin with baking paper
- Melt chocolate and butter in a large bowl over a pot of simmering water on the stove (make sure your bowl does not touch the water)
- Sift flour, cocoa, sugar and baking powder into a seperate bowl
- Add melted chocolate mixture to dry ingredients
- Beat eggs and add to mix, stirring until consistency appears silky
- Bake for 30 minutes

Enjoy your Easter long weekend!! How will you spend it? Eating chocolate? Sleeping in? Chocolate induced naps? All of the above sounds pretty good to me!!!
