By Pat Govender - KITCHEN FUNDI
INGREDIENTS
115g butter.
100g plain chocolate roughly chopped.
2 eggs.
¼ cup light brown sugar.
2 teaspoon vanilla essence.
½ cup flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
40 g pecan or walnuts roughly chopped.
METHOD
Preheat oven to 200'C. Grease and line base of a 18cm shallow tin.
Put butter and chocolate over double boiler in gently simmering water until melted leave mixture to cool slightly. Put eggs,sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl and beat together until mixture begins to turn frothy stir in chocolate mixture until combined.
Sift flour and cocoa powder in a bowl and scatter in nuts. Stir together then turn mixture into the baking tin and level the surface. Bake for 18-20 minutues until crust feels dry (its better to slightly under-cook brownies as they lose their gooeyness when they are over-baked).
Leave in tin for 10 minutues when cool cut the cake into 25 squares
