The Best Ever Chocolate Brownies

These Jamie Oliver brownies are absolutly delicious, they are soft and gooey and can be served as a pudding, snack or even as an an alternative to a traditional birthday cake.

250g unsalted butter cubed
200g green & blacks 70% cocoa dark chocolate broken up
80g cocoa powder
65g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
350g caster sugar (this will seem like loads)
4 large free range eggs

Preheat your oven 180c /350f /gas 4, line a 30cm rectangular baking tray with baking or greaseproof paper.
In a large bowl melt the butter and chocolate over a pan of simmering water until smooth.
In a separate bowl place all of the dry ingredients and add to the melted chocolate mixture.
Stir together well and add the beaten eggs, mix until you have a thick silky consistency.
Tip the mixture in the baking tray and bake in the centre of the oven for aprox 25 mins or until the edges look like and spring back like a cake and the middle still has a bit of wobble.
Once cooled cut into squares and pile them on to plate, decorate with edible glitter, malteasers coated in gold dust and melted white chocolate.
