Double Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Butter (100 gms, cut into pieces)
• 150 gms Dark Chocolate (I used Morde)
• 1 tsp Instant Coffee powder
• 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
• 1 cup Caster sugar
• 3 Eggs (room temperature)
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup Flour
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/2 cup Chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup Chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. 1

   Grease and line an 8 inch square baking tin.Preheat oven to 190C.

2. 2

   In a Micro-proof bowl add butter and chocolate and microwave on full power for 1 minute.Stir the mix till the chocolate is melted.If any chocolate chunks remain,microwave for another 30 seconds.(you can do this on stove top too by double boiling the bowl of chocolate and butter).

3. 3

   Mix in the instant coffee powder,cocoa powder and caster sugar and beat. Add in the eggs one by one,beating well after each addition.Stir in the vanilla.Add flour,salt and beat well.

4. 4

   Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts and give a final mix. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 30-35 minutes or till a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean(a few moist crumbs here and there is fine as the brownie continues cooking as it cools down).

5. 5

   Let the brownie cool in the tin for 10 minutes and then remove from the tin and continue cooling on the wire rack.When completely cool,cut the brownie into 16 pieces,a dough scraper works best here.

6. 6

   Serve warm with some ice-cream or with coffee.
