Chocolate Brownie Recipe

I haven't actually got round to making this recipe recently, but am posting it so I don't lose it.

250g butter

200g dark chocolate

80g cocoa powder

65g plain flour

1 tsp baking powder

350g caster sugar

4 eggs

Salt (unless butter is salted)

Additional flavouring eg nuts, cherries, candied peel, citrus zest (I like walnuts)

Butter a 25cm cake tin (preferably with removable bottom)

Preheat oven to 180

Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water

Add the butter and mix until melted

Add the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and mix well

Add the eggs and mix until you have a smooth mixture 

Pour in to the cake tin and cook for 25mins. A skewer should come out with a little mixture on it but the surface should feel firm and springy not too squishy. You can adjust the cooking time next time if it is not exactly as you like it!
