Ingredients:

• 250 g softened butter
• 220 g sugar
• 175 g 70% dark chocolate
• 100 g milk chocolate
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs, plus 1 extra egg yolk
• 90 g all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 30 g cocoa powder

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a square or rectangular baking tin by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Beat the butter until very soft, then add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
3. Lightly beat the 3 eggs and 1 yolk, then add them to the butter and sugar mixture one tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Mix for 5 minutes until the mixture has increased in volume.
5. Melt 100 g of milk chocolate and 100 g of dark chocolate in a double boiler.
6. Chop the remaining 75 g of dark chocolate into pieces.
7. Gently fold the cooled melted chocolate into the batter one spoonful at a time, then add the chocolate pieces.
8. Sift in the flour, vanilla, baking powder, and cocoa powder.
9. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick – if it comes out with batter, bake for a few more minutes.
10. Prepare a saucepan with cold water and ice.
11. Pour the ice water into a larger dish and carefully place the brownie tin in it for half an hour. This quickly stops the cooking process (otherwise, the brownie may become dry).
12. Leave the brownie in the tin overnight to allow it to set and become wonderfully tender and melt-in-your-mouth delicious!
