TIP
The less you fuss about this recipe the
better it will turn out. Brownie is actually
a failed chocolate cake made by
somebody who forgot the baking
powder, sometime after World War I in
the US. The great thing about a perfect
brownie is you don’t need fancy
chocolate; any good cocoa out of a tin is
fine. If it is not too dark, add ½tsp
instant coffee powder. Do not leave the
brownie in the oven for a minute longer
than necessary. It should always be a
little gooey in the centre. Brownies do
not need refrigeration; they stay moist
and gooey in an airtight container at room temperature.They should last for a week easily, if you can resist
eating them!!!!
* This is perfect for convection cooking. When you microwave a brownie, it sets like a cake,
preventing the centre from remaining gooey.
