Ingredients

  • 185 g unsalted butter
  • 185 g best dark chocolate
  • 85 g plain flour
  • 40 g cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 50 g white chocolate chips
  • 50 g milk chocolate chips
  • 3 large eggs
  • 275 g golden caster sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C (160 C fan). Line a 20cm square tin with foil or baking parchment.
  2. Melt the butter and dark chocolate together over a pan of hot water (or in the microwave). Leave to cool.
  3. Sieve the flour, cocoa, and salt into a bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Chop the white and milk chocolate into chunks.
  5. Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and doubled in volume (3-8 minutes).
  6. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the eggy mousse.
  7. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined, then stir in the chocolate chunks.
  8. Pour into the tin, level the top, and scatter over some chocolate chips.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is shiny and the sides just come away from the tin.
  10. Leave to cool completely in the tin, then lift out and cut into squares or triangles.
