Chewy Blood Orange Chocolate Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 24 x 20cm brownie tin with baking parchment. Put the butter, dark chocolate and orange zest in a non-stick saucepan and very gently melt over a low heat, stirring every now and then, until smooth - take care not to overheat it. Cool.
• Whisk the eggs and sugar together with an electric whisk until the mixture is pale, has doubled in volume and leaves a trail when the beaters are lifted. Gently stir into the cooled chocolate mixture. Sift over the flour and cocoa, stir in, then add the orange chocolate.
• Pour into the lined tin and bake for 35-40 mins. Cool in the tin, then cut into squares.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. Combine oil, eggs, corn syrup and vanilla; add to dry ingredients. Fold in nuts if desired. Spread into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. , Bake at 350° for 25-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Dust with confectioners' sugar while warm if desired.

Steps:

• Turn on the oven to 180 degrees and butter the tin you're using, then cover with greaseproof paper. The best tin for this would be a thinner, wider version of a loaf tin (a brownie tin).
• Melt the butter. You can either do this in a pan over the stove, or in a microwave. If you're using a microwave, place the butter in a microwavable dish and microwave for about 40 seconds. Then add the caster sugar, mix well. Sieve the hot chocolate (or cocoa powder) over the mixture, and stir in.
• Next, add the vanilla extract and 3 eggs. For best results at this stage, use a whisk as this will combine the eggs and previous mixture faster than using a wooden spoon or similar.
• Place the dark chocolate and milk chocolate into a suitable heatproof bowl, and place over a pan of simmering water. Stir the chocolate to allow it to melt, whilst ensuring that none of the water enters the bowl. When all of the chocolate is melted, carefully take out the bowl and leave to cool for a few minutes. When the bowl is at a temperature appropriate for holding, pour the chocolate into the mixture.
• Following this, sieve the plain flour over the mixture along with the baking powder and fold in carefully. Cut the white chocolate into little cubes and add to the mixture, still folding it in as otherwise the air in the mixture will be lost.
• Once all of the ingredients are in the mixture, pour it into the tin. Cook at 180 degrees for about 40 minutes. To check whether it's cooked, take a spoon or fork, hold the part you usually put in your mouth and put the other end into the brownie. If this comes out clean, the brownie is done - if not place the brownie back in the oven and cook for another 15 minutes.
