Ingredients
Scale
- 400 grams butter, room temperature
- 400 grams quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 500 grams castor sugar
- 6 large free-range eggs
- 10 milliliters vanilla extract
- 250 grams cake flour
- 5 milliliters baking powder
- 80 milliliters (1/3 cup) Nutella, plus extra for decorating (optional)
- 1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F).
- Prepare the tin: Line a 21cm x 28cm metal brownie tin with baking paper on all sides.
- Melt the chocolate: Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler, then set aside to cool.
- Beat the eggs: Beat the castor sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy and more or less doubled in volume.
- Combine the wet ingredients: Stir in the cooled chocolate and butter mixture.
- Add the dry ingredients: Sift the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and add this to the chocolate batter. Briefly mix to combine.
- Layer the brownies: Tip half the mixture into the prepared brownie tin and dollop the Nutella in blotches evenly across the surface. Use a skewer to swirl each mound slightly into the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter: Pour the remaining chocolate batter over this and spread to distribute evenly.
- Bake the brownies: Bake for 45 minutes; they will still be a bit wobbly.
- Let cool: Leave to cool completely before removing from the tin and cutting.
Notes
For an extra chocolatey flavor, drizzle more Nutella on top before serving.
