Classic Gooey Cadbury Bournville Brownies

Every recipe story must have at least one chocolate story in it and this hits all the heady notes for me.  I love that cocoa hit, probably as I’m also a coffee lover. Bournville adds an intensity that I love. 

From one of the biggest and best loved brands out there, remembered from growing up to right now.

I think I would definitely add walnuts or hazlenuts as they were Mam's favourite (she preferred walnuts, I preferred hazelnuts).

Preparation time: 20 min

Cook time: 50 min

Serves: 16

You will need:

INGREDIENTS

• 175 g Cadbury Bournville dark chocolate

• 175 g unsalted butter

• 3 medium eggs

• 250 g caster sugar

• 75 g plain flour

• 40 g Cadbury Bournville cocoa

• 50 g chopped walnut (optional)

• 
  

METHOD

• Preheat oven to 180 ⁰C, gas mark 4. Grease and line the base and sides of a 20 cm square cake tin with baking parchment.

• Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Cool slightly.

• Whisk the eggs and sugar until thick and creamy, pour over the chocolate mixture and fold in.

• Sift in the flour and cocoa and fold in the nuts. Pour into the prepared tin, making sure it goes right into the corners and bake for 25-30 minutes. The top should be crusty with a slight wobble underneath.

• Cool completely in the tin (can refrigerate overnight which aids cutting) and then cut into squares or triangles.
