Ewa's brownie

 Ingredients

(20 servings)

- 200 g butter

- 200 g dark chocolate

- 3 eggs (room temperature)

- 250 g sugar

- 135 g flour

- a small pinch of salt

- additional: approx. 50 - 100 g dark chocolate for topping

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Prepare a small rectangular baking pan (about 21 cm x 28 cm or a similar size). Grease it with butter and line with parchment paper.

2. Cut the butter into cubes and place it in a saucepan. Add the broken-up pieces of chocolate and melt them over low heat, stirring constantly. Once melted, remove from heat.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk or stir the eggs with sugar until well combined. Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture, and mix or whisk until smooth.

4. Add the flour and salt, and mix until the dough is uniform. Pour it into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.

5. Chop the additional chocolate into pieces and sprinkle it over the top of the batter.

6. Place in the oven and bake for about 35 minutes, or until the cake rises slightly and a crust forms on top. If using a larger pan, the cake will bake faster, and if using a smaller pan, the baking time will need to be extended.

6. Once baked and cooled, cut into small pieces.

 I personally skip step 5, I don't do the topping

Also, the recipe says '200g' of dark chocolate. I do more or less 150g dark chocolate and 50g milk chocolate, makes it more sweet and less heavy
