Hazelnut chocolate brownie
Ingredients
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 200 g butter
- 200 g sugar
- 200 g ground hazelnuts
- 6 eggs separated
Method
- Melt the butter and chocolate. Leave to cool slightly.
- I use a microwave to do this but you can use a bowl over boiling water to if you don't have a microwave or don't trust them.
- Whisk the sugar and egg yolks together until light and fluffy.
- Whisk the egg whites until stiff.
- Add the melted butter and chocolate to the egg yolks and sugar. Mix well. Then add the hazelnuts.
- Lastly add the egg
whites to do this, get a metal spoon and add one big spoon of egg whites
to the mixture and mix around until fully incorporated. This will
loosen the mixture and make it easy to add the rest of egg white without
knocking out all the air in the whisked eggs whites. Fold in the rest
of the egg whites gradually and slowly.
- Finally add the mixture to the greased and lined cake tin.
- Cook until firm but not too dark. (about 30 minutes, but keep a close eye and check regularly)
- Leave the cake to cool before cutting
- These brownies are extra special with nutella spread on top.
Notes:
Make sure the tin is greased and lined with baking paper.
