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.

Fold in the chunks

Whisk eggs and sugar for 2 minutes. Stir in vanilla and the warm chocolate mixture. Fold in flour, cocoa and salt, then 60 g chocolate chunks. Scatter the remaining 30 g over the batter in the tin.

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

Reserve some chunks for the top so each piece has both a soft centre and visible chocolate.

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.
