I had a look at previous brownies recipes and thought I would volunteer my version as it's a recipe that I've shared with many friends. Johnro had posted a similar recipe with cranberries, mine hasn't got much flour and is full of chocolate and cocoa with the addition of macadamia nuts (the Aussie touch
) and rum (the French touch
). I've had that recipe for a while but can't remember where it came from... Hope you enjoy it!
Ingredients:125g dark chocolate, broken in pieces
125g unsalted butter, chopped
150g brown sugar
3 eggs
Rum or Cointreau
90g plain flour
30g cocoa
½ teaspoon baking powder
macadamia nuts, or any other nuts!
PreparationPreheat oven to 180C . Grease and line a dish with baking paper and set aside (I use a 16x26cm Pyrex dish).
Grate 125g dark chocolate for 7s- speed 8.
Add 125g chopped unsalted butter and 150g brown sugar: melt for 3mn- 50C- speed 2.
Add 3 eggs through the lid, one at a time, while mixing on speed 3 until eggs are incorporated (speed 2).
Add a dash of rum or Cointreau + 90g plain flour + 30g Cocoa + ½ teaspoon baking powder and mix for 30s on speed 5.
Pour mixture in prepared dish. Sprinkle a handful of nuts on the top (macadamias are our favourite but walnuts, pecan or hazelnuts work well too) and bake at 180C for 30 to 40mn, depending how gooey you like your brownies.
