Cranberry and chocolate brownies

Adapted form Taste magazine Dec 07 - p10  by Kate Murdoch can now be found at http://www.taste.com.au

Ingredients
•   175g butter
•   200g dark chocolate
•   1 ¼ cups / 155g plain flour
•   ½ teaspoon baking powder
•   1/3 cup / 30g cocoa
•   4 eggs
•   ½ cup / 75g dried cranberries
•   ¾  cup / 165g brown sugar

Preparation
1. Preheat oven 170°C -  line a slice tray or square cake pan.
2. Melt butter and chocolate (in m’wave – 50 – 60 % power) - may need to stir occasionally until the chocolate mixture melts and is smooth.
3. Place all other ingredients in TM bowl – mix together until combined – 10 sec – speed 5.
4. Add melted chocolate and butter mixture – mix 20 sec speed 6, until mixed but do not over beat.
5. Cook 35- 40 mins – when tested, the skewer should be slightly sticky for a fudgey type brownie – cook longer for a drier end result, bout a crisper edge will be produced with longer cooking time. Set aside in the pan 10 minutes to cool then transfer to a wire rack.   Dust with icing sugar.
6. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature – may be served with raspberry coulis and whipped cream.

Tips/Hints:
In the oven at present, I have made these prethermie - if these taste as delicious as the raw mixture - very decadent!!!!!.  Will post pics before dessert is served tonight.
Served these warm.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

You could do these in your turbo oven / easycook, cookie!!  Can you guess that I have my oven door fixed - can now pack my easy cook oven back in the cupboard?
