Инструкция
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan and line the bottom with a sheet of parchment paper, letting it hang over two sides.
- In a bowl, over a double boiler or in the microwave oven, melt the chocolate with the butter. Let cool.
- In another bowl, combine the eggs, brown sugar and salt with a whisk until smooth. Add the chocolate mixture, then the flour, and stir until smooth.
- Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 23 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out with a few crumbs and not completely clean. Let cool in the pan, about 2 hours. Remove from the pan and cut into cubes. Set aside 8 brownie cubes as garnish.
