Ingredients

  • 200g good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 200g brown sugar
  • 120ml vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 75g plain flour, sifted
  • 50g cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 100g walnuts, finely chopped (optional)

Method

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
  • 2. Heat a saucepan with water and place a heat resistant bowl on top. Melt the chocolate in the bowl.
  • 3. Cut the vanilla pod lengthways and scrape out the black vanilla seeds.
  • 4. In a separate mixing bowl combine sugar, oil, vanilla seeds and eggs. Beat with an electric whisk until it becomes a smooth pale yellow mixture. Add the melted chocolate to this mixture.
  • 5. Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder. If you are using the walnuts add them in at this stage.
  • 6. Spoon the mixture evenly into a square lined baking tin. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Pierce with a skewer and if it comes out clean they are cooked if not then place back in the oven for an extra 3-5 minutes until cooked. They should be squidgy but not wet in the middle.
