المقادير
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate
  • 150 g butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa
  • A pinch of salt
  • A handful of walnuts or chopped chocolate (optional)

Method
 

  1. Melt the chocolate with the butter over a water bath or in the microwave, then let it cool slightly.
  2. Whisk the eggs with the sugar and vanilla until the mixture turns pale.
  3. Stir in the melted chocolate.
  4. Add the flour, cocoa and salt, and fold just until combined without overmixing, then stir in the walnuts.
  5. Pour the batter into a greased tin lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake at 175 °C for about 22–25 minutes, until the top is set but the centre is still a little soft. Let it cool before slicing.

ملاحظات

Don't overbake it, so the centre stays fudgy.
Whisking the eggs and sugar well is what gives you that glossy top.
Let it cool completely before cutting for clean, neat squares.
