Ingredients
- Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more), 200g
- Unsalted butter, 200g
- Cocoa powder, 60g
- Golden caster sugar, 400g
- 4 Eggs,
- Plain flour, 120g
- Crunchy peanut butter, 150g
Method
- Begin by preheating your oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas Mark 4.
- Melt the dark chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over low heat. When the contents of your pan have all broken down with a glossy finish, set aside to cool.
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat in the sugar until pale. This should take you around 5 minutes. Once done, gently fold in your cocoa powder.
- Next, fold in your flour. Add it into your mixing bowl slowly so that it is incorporated well and doesn't clump up. Now pour the cooled melted chocolate into the mixing bowl and stir it in to combine the brownie mix together.
- Line a 20cm baking tin with greaseproof paper and pour in your brownie mixture. Using a spatula, push the batter into all of the nooks and crannies of the tin. Tap the mixture on the counter you are working on to eliminate any air bubbles.
- Spoon on the peanut butter equally along the top of your brownie mixture - roughly 3 blobs across and 4/5 blobs down. Using a knife, swirl through the peanut butter blobs to marble the lighter shade of brown with the dark shade of your brownie mixture.
- Place in the oven on the middle shelf for 30-40 minutes. Your brownie should have a slight wobble on its top but when a toothpick is placed in the middle it should come out clean.
- Serve when it has cooled down entirely and is firm to the touch.
