Fudgy Brownies

Ingredients

• 200 g butter
• 200 g chocolate chips or good baking chocolate
• 4 eggs at room temperature
• 2/3 cup flour, sifted
• 1/2 cup cocoa, sifted
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1 tsp vinegar
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tbsp Nescafé
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
• 100 g white baking chocolate (optional)

Method

1. Melt the butter and chocolate over a water bath, stirring until smooth.
2. Beat the eggs, vinegar, vanilla and sugars, add the flour, baking powder, salt, sifted cocoa, Nescafé and oil, then the melted butter and chocolate.
3. Line a 9x9 brownie tin with baking paper, pour in the batter, fold in the white chocolate pieces and scatter chocolate chips on top.
4. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20 to 25 minutes; they will be soft when they come out and set on their own. Tap the tin a few times so the crust cracks. Cool, or serve with ice cream.
