ONE SWEET STEP AT A TIME

Let’s make it.

Prepare the tin

Heat a conventional oven to 175°C. Line a 20 cm square tin with baking paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.

Melt the chocolate

Melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water. Do not let the bowl touch the water. Stir until smooth and leave until warm.

Mix gently

Whisk eggs and sugar for 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla and the warm chocolate mixture. Fold in flour, cocoa and salt just until combined.

Bake

Spread in the tin and bake for 22–27 minutes, until the edges are set and a skewer has moist crumbs rather than wet batter.

Cool before cutting

Leave in the tin for at least 1 hour. Lift out, then cut into 9 squares with a clean knife.

A helpful little detail

Choose a chocolate you enjoy eating, around 55–70% cocoa. Its flavour carries the bake; cool fully before slicing.

Keeping it lovely

Keep airtight for up to 3 days, or freeze individually for up to 1 month.

Allergens

Wheat, eggs and milk. Check chocolate packaging for soy and traces of nuts. Always check your own ingredient labels.
