Raspberry Chocolate Brownies

Yes, I know it's not Egyptian, but I've just put some in the oven so I thought I'd share...

* 350g dark chocolate, (55-60% cocoa solids), broken into pieces
* 250g unsalted butter
* 3 Eggs
* 250g light soft brown sugar
* 110g plain flour
* 1 tsp Baking powder
* 175g fresh Raspberries/Strawberries/Blackberries or whatever

1. Preheat the oven to 170C/gas 3 and grease a 23cm square cake tin.

2. Put the chocolate and butter in a saucepan set over a low heat and gently melt, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.

3. Whisk the eggs until thick, then gradually add the sugar and beat until glossy. Beat in the lukewarm melted chocolate mixture, then gently fold in the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt.

4. Pour just over half the mixture into the prepared cake tin. Scatter over the raspberries, then cover with the remaining mixture.

5. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the surface is set. The brownies will be cooked when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with just a little mixture adhering.

6. Remove from the oven, place the tin on a wire rack and allow to rest for about 20 minutes. Cut the brownies into squares and carefully remove them from the tin when cold.

Hang on, I thought you were single? Didn’t you say something about not wanting to be in a relationship in response to a post in the Women’s Talk section?

That’s your choice, none of my business what people do in their personal lives as long as me or my family aren’t affected.

I was just confused as to whether you were currently single or not as your post seemed to infer that you were single.

I think the official opinion is quite clear.
