Delicious brownies

Here is one of my favorite brownie recipes I made today for a friend who was coming over for a visit. It's easy to make and very tasty to eat.

You'll need:
- 300 gr. dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 250 gr. unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups plain white flour, sifted

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 170 C (150 C fan-forced)
2. Grease and line a 4 cm deep, 18 cm x 25 cm slice pan
3. Melt the butter in a sauce pan, together with the butter, but do not overheat! Stir regularly with a wooden spoon until the ingredients have melted and are combined well.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and mix well with the caster sugar.
5. Put the eggs in a bowl and beat well with an electric mixer, before slowly adding in the chocolate mixture. Then fold in the flour. Beat until all is well combined.
6. Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared pan and bake on the lowest shelf of the oven for 35-40 minutes. Be sure not to bake them too long, otherwise they will be too dry.

Yummie cupcakes

The fudge and cupcakes make a perfect pair!!!

I found this recipe for Double chocolate cupcakes on one of the blogs I visited. They taste really really good :-D

And here is the recipe (for 12)
90 gr butter melted
1 cup self rising flour, sifted
1/2 cup of sugar (original recipe used 1 cup))
3 tbs cocoa
100 gr chopped dark chocolate
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 180C (160C fan forced)
Sift the flour and cocoa together.
Add all the other ingredients and mix until just combined (don't overmix or they will be tough).
Spoon into cupcake papers placed in a muffin form and bake for about 15 minutes.
