Chocolate Brownie
This delicious brownie recipe is extra gooey and soft when served heated. I always serve it with vanilla ice cream and wait until it melts over the top of the brownie before eating, yum! The dates give it a yummy chewy texture and a slight caramel taste. Once you have cooled and cut the brownie, store it in a sealed container and it will keep for a couple of weeks. Ingredients 2 cups chopped dates 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 cup boiling water 200g finely diced butter (at room temperature) 4 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups caster sugar 1 cup dark cocoa (sifted) 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 250g of Whittakers dark chocolate (cut into small chunks) Method 1.
