A yummy dessert so rich in chocolate . It has a very thin cracked hard crust and a fudgey base .it needs no sauce or anything to accompany it , can be had just like as it is . If you want to make it look even more appealing serve it with venilla ice Cream or any berries made this a few days back just like that no guests or kids at home . My hubby had just 2 slices , the rest ………. Ok I myself gobbled the rest .( not all at once ) I had the nigella lawson moment where you are drawn to sneak towards your refrigerator to have a sinfull indulgence . When I eat I just enjoy the moment but afterwards feel so bad about eating . Wonder why I am not able to change this one thing in me .
Ingredients
Butter melted – 1/2 cup , eggs – 2 beaten , cocoa powder – 1/3 cup , baking powder – 1/4 teaspoon , sugar – 1 cup , flour – 1/2 cup , vanilla essence – 1 teaspoon , salt – 1/4 teaspoon , chopped nuts – 1/2 cup ( I used peacan nuts , can use cashewnuts , almonds , walnuts or pistachio ) chocolate chips – 1/2 cup ( I used Cadbury milk chocolate chopped )
Method ;
Preheat oven to 160 degree Celsius . Grease a 9 inch square baking pan . I usually when ever baking a cake prefer to cover the base and sides ( a bit higher than the sides of the baking tray as it will be easier to life the cake once done ) with foil paper or butter sheet . Then grease . Mix sugar , melted butter and vanilla essence together and mix well . Add the beaten eggs . Mix well till the sugar dissolves . Sift together baking powder , flour , salt and cocoa powder three times . Gradually add it to the egg mixture . Mix till it is nicely incorporated and well blended . Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts . Spread the batter in the greased baking pan . Bake for 30 to 40 minutes . Remove and cool completely . Cut into squares and serve .
