Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
- Break up the dark chocolate.
- Put into a pyrex bowl and melt gently.
- Remove the bowl from the heat and leave to cool until needed.
- In a separate bowl cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually beat in the eggs, beating well after each addition and add the vanilla essence.
- Add in the cooled melted chocolate mixture then mix in thoroughly.
- Sift the flour and cocoa onto the mixture and gently stir in.
- When completely combined spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and spread evenly.
- Bake in the heated oven for about 20 mins until firm to the touch but still a bit fudgy. The chocolate will continue to cook slightly for a few mins after coming out of the oven.
- Remove the tin from the oven and set on a wire cooling rack and leave to cool completely before cutting into squares.
