This Simple Chocolate Brownie Cake recipe really does keep things simple. By using half milk chocolate its not too dark, heavy or bitter plus making round brownies means no more decisions about whether to have an edge or gooey middle piece - genius!
Preheat the oven to 190c fan | 200c | 390F or equivalent.
Line a 23cm/9" round cake tin with a paper cake liner or line with baking paper.
Weigh 200g Salted Butter directly into a microwave safe mixing bowl. Break up 100g Dark Chocolate and 100g Milk Chocolate and add to the butter. Alternatively add to a saucepan.
Microwave in short busts stirring each time until the chocolate is fully melted and and combined with the butter.
I started with 60 seconds and then two further 30 second bursts. Alternatively place the saucepan over a medium low heat and stir until the chocolate is melted. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add 4 Eggs and 250g Caster Sugar to the bowl. Stir to combine fully.
Weigh in 120g Plain Flour and add ¼ tsp Sea Salt Flakes. Stir until all visible lumps of flour have gone.
Add in 150g White Chocolate Chips and stir again.
Pour the brownie batter into the lined cake tin. Give it a firm tap on the work surface to remove any air bubbles.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes depending on how well baked you want the centre of the brownies to be.
Once baked allow to sit and cool in the tin for at least 15 minutes then carefully transfer to a cooling rack. If it feel difficult to pick the brownies up out the tin, leave it to cool further in the tin.
Peel away the paper from the brownies while they are still a little warm.
Refrigerate overnight for more solid brownies or cut and serve when you like for a oozing and gooey centre.
