Ingredients:

200g (7oz) dark chocolate, chopped

150g (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

250g (1 1/4 cups) granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

95g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour

30g (1/4 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

100g (1/2 cup) chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

To make the chocolate brownies :

Preheat the oven and prepare the pan:

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 20 x 20cm (8 x 8in) baking tray with baking paper, leaving some excess on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the paper with butter or non-stick spray.

Melt the chocolate and butter:

In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and butter. Melt together using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Make the brownie batter:

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and pale. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until well combined.

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. If using, add chocolate chips or nuts at this point.

Bake the brownies:

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, as this will dry out the brownies.

Cool and Serve:

Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Use parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.
