Ultimate Fudgey Brownies

These Ultimate Fudgey Brownies are a really decadent treat, made with only cocoa powder and other store cupboard staples. The fudge centre comes from the high butter content. If you prefer a ‘cakey’ Brownie, you would need more flour and less butter.

I have added some Coffee Flavour Shot to really boost the chocolate flavour, but you could use any Flavour shot to give your brownies a twist! Think Raspberry Ripple, Salted Caramel, or even Irish cream!

Ingredients

• 220g Butter
• 200g Caster sugar
• 175g Dark brown sugar
• 120g Sugar and Crumbs unflavoured Cocoa powder
• 1/4tsp salt
• 3 eggs
• 100g plain flour
• 25g flavour Shot

Method

Preheat Oven to 160c Fan

1. Place the butter, both types of sugar, cocoa powder and salt into a microwave safe bowl.
2. Microwave the mixture in short bursts, until the butter is completely melted, stirring between increments.
3. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
4. Once the mixture has cooled, add the eggs one at a time beating in well.
5. Add the flour and Flavour Shot and mix well.
6. When the flour is well mixed in, continue to beat until the mixture comes away from the sides of the bowl. This is exactly the opposite of making a sponge cake, you need to really mix it!
7. Pour the mixture into a lined 8″/11″ tin and bake for 20-30 mins.
8. To test if the brownie is ready, insert a wooden cocktail stick. A few moist crumbs should be stuck to the stick.
9. Place on a cooling rack to cool slightly before enjoying your Ultimate Fudgey Brownies!
