Ingredients
Serves: 10
- 120g butter
- 200g caster sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 100g flour
Method
Prep:10min › Cook:8min › Extra time:10min cooling › Ready in:28min
- Prepare a microwave safe, non-metallic tray by spraying it with cooking oil and ensuring it is fully coated.
- Weigh out the butter into a microwave safe bowl and melt in the microwave on low.
- Add the sugar, the cocoa powder, and then the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add each egg, one at a time, and mix in well after each. Stir in the flour and ensure it is all incorporated.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared tray and spread to the edges. Place in the microwave on high for 5 minutes. Then check it, it will probably need around 3 more minutes but keep an eye on it. It will be ready when it starts to shrink away from the edges. In the centre there may be a spot which looks uncooked but the mixture continues to cook while cooling so this will soon disappear.
- Leave to cool completely and then cut in the tray. Transfer to a serving plate and tuck in!
Tip
Add chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for double chocolate brownies. Alternatively add nuts for a crunchy texture.
