Chocolate Brownie

Ingredients:

• 110g butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cups flour
• 1/2 cocoa powder
  
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup walnuts or pecan, roughly chopped ( I like walnuts, should increase to 3/4 cups)
  

Methods:

1. Preheat oven to 160C, grease a square cake tin, cover base with baking paper.
2. Melt butter, mix in sugar and vanilla. Beat in eggs one at the time.
3. Add combined flour, cocoa and baking powder and mix thoroughly. Stir through the chopped nuts and pour into the tin.
4. Bake for 25-35 mins or until the skewer comes out clean.
5. Cool for 5 mins in the tin before turning out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

I didn't have a proper measurement of the chocolate ganache when I was making it. Because I didn't have cream at home. I melted some chocolate, butter and 2 tbsp of milk and then spread on it. Cut it when it is completely cool. I will edit it once I have re bake it. Or you could use the following as reference or just eat without any frosting.

There's one I found on www.best-chocolate-recipes-online.com

• 115ml of double cream
• 110g of plain chocolate, finely chopped

Put the cream into a saucepan and bring nearly to the boil, so it is scalding hot. With the finely grated chocolate in a heatproof bowl, pour the hot cream over and leave to allow the chocolate to melt into the hot cream. Gently stir to mix.

Leave it to cool long enough for it to be a nice spreadable consistency.
