Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g Unsalted butter, melted (1 cup)
- 200 g Semisweet chocolate (7.50z)
- 4 Eggs, room temperature
- 360 g Caster sugar (1 1/2 cups)
- 65 g Flour (1/2 cup)
- 80 g Cocoa powder (1 cup), dutch processed
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 6-8 strawberries, thinly sliced
- Freeze-dried strawberries, optional, for sprinkling
- Melted dark chocolate, optional, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F)
- Melt the butter and chocolate together in a medium sized bowl over a hot water bath or in the microwave
- In a large bowl add the eggs and caster sugar, whisk until smooth
- Add the chocolate and butter mixture into the eggs, stirring until combined
- Using an electric beater, beat the eggs and chocolate until doubled in volume and paler in colour (this will take some time, but it is the trick to getting that beautiful shiny crust and finish)
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt, mix until just combined
- Pour into a brownie pan (8 x 8 inches) and arrange the thinly sliced strawberries over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few gooey crumbs.
- Cool, drizzle with melted dark chocolate and scatter over the freeze-dried strawberries
- Cut into 12 squares and enjoy!
