Method:-

Line your tray with non-stick baking parchment, cutting carefully at the corners and making sure that there is not too much excess paper at the edges. Wipe with a small amount of butter.

Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa and melt in a large bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, stirring occasionally with a spatula.

Once melted fully, allow to cool slightly. Beat in the eggs one at a time with a large whisk. Fold in the flour and pinch of salt gently with a spatula, ensuring that you fully incorporate it. Finally fold in the cold, chopped chocolate.

Bake at 160C fan for 35-45 minutes, checking after 35. The brownie will set up once cooled, so don’t overcook it as you want the lovely gooey texture. It should have a good crust on the top and be holding its shape.

Allow to cool down fully in a cool place still in the tray then remove carefully onto a chopping board. Cut using a sharp knife and enjoy!
