Description
This almonds and chocolate brownies recipe will leave you wanting for more. The chocolatey and nutty flavors combine to give a satisfying flavor ad fudgy texture.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (150° fan)/325 F/ gas 3 and oil and line a 20cm x 20cm/ 8''x 8'' square cake tin.
- Melt the chocolate, cocoa and butter together in a saucepan, then leave to cool a little.
- Whisk the sugar and eggs together with an electric whisk for 3 minutes or until very light.
- Pour in the chocolate mixture and sieve over the flour, then fold everything together with flaked almonds until evenly mixed.
- Scrape into the tin and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the outside is set, but the centre is still quite soft, as it will continue to cook as it cools.
- Leave the brownie to cool completely before cutting into 9 squares and topping with more flaked almonds and a dusting of icing sugar.
