Course: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 175g butter
  • 175g dark chocolate
  • 40g strong coffee powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 275g caster sugar
  • 85g plain flour
  • 30g cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 100g milk chocolate chips
  1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Line a 9-inch square tin with baking paper.
  2. Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and microwave in 30-second blasts until fully melted. Add the coffee powder and leave to cool slightly.
  3. Place the eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, and beat for four minutes until pale and thick. You can also do this by hand or with a hand-held beater. Pour in the chocolate/butter mixture, and use a large whisk to combine. Sieve the dry ingredients directly into the bowl and fold gently in with the whisk. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. Pour into the tin and bake for 22-26 minutes until the top has fully baked, but there is a slight wobble when you shake the tray.
  5. For the neatest results, cool fully and refrigerate overnight before slicing with a hot, clean, sharp knife.
