easy brownies

I often make and bake these brownies with M., she loves make them because she is in charge of every thing and she loves eating them!
It is a recipe from Jamie Oliver "30 minutes meal" but I have adjusted it to my and M's taste.

(20 people serving)
100 gr of dark choccolate (70%)
100 gr of milk choccolate
200 gr unsalted butter
6 table spoons cocoa powder
4 table spoons self raising flour
4 eggs
100 gr caster sugar
sprinkles for decoration

Smash the chocolate and chop the butter into rough chunks- you can put the chocolate and butter in a water bath to melt completely if you don't have a food processor.


M. is smashing the choccolate.



When they have both melted and soft, add 100g caster sugar, 6 level tablespoons of cocoa powder, 4 heaped tablespoons of self-raising flour, a pinch of salt. Mix together in a food processor. Crack in the eggs and whiz.
Grease a non-stick baking tray (approx. 32x26cm) and drizzle with some olive oil. Use a spatula to spoon and spread the brownie mixture evenly into the tray of about 2.5 cm thickness. Bake for about 15 mins at 180 deg C. The brownies should still be soft. Leave it to cool outside the oven in its bakig tray. Once cool sprinkle all over your chosen sprinkles, press them a little with you finger so that they stick to the brownie. cut the cake into little bite size brownies. enjoy


For this recipe M. is able to take control over most of the process: smashing the choccolate, cutting the butter, cracking the eggs and adding flour and sugar. I only supervise, give her instruction, use the food processor and spoon the mixture in the baking tray.
