That title certainly sounds like a mouthful! This is one of the best brownie cake recipes you will ever make and trust me, one mouthful won't be enough! Undoubtedly! Even if it sounds like I'm tooting my own horn!
I was given the original recipe for it by my friend's Mum. The version below is my tweaked one as the original does not call for the addition of orange.
Ingredients
185 g caster sugar
125 g unsalted butter
125 g margarine
300 g toblerone
125 g self raising flour
30 g plain flour
30 g dark cocoa
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Rind of 1 orange
3 tbsp orange juice
Method
1. Line a 20 cm x 30 cm shallow tin with baking paper. Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius.
2. Place sugar, butter, a third of the toblerone and 125 ml of hot water in a bowl. Place the bowl over a pan with boiling water until the contents have melted. Take it off the heat and cool.
3. Sift together the dry ingredients and add them to the melted chocolate mixture.
4. Stir in the two beaten eggs. Do not overbeat.
5. Add the orange rind and orange juice. Pour into the prepared tin and sprinkle over the remaining toblerone which has been chopped into pieces. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes until done. Do not overbake, once the top starts cracking, insert a skewer in the center and if it comes out clean, take your cake out of the oven and let it cool in the tin.
The margarine gives it a very moist, melt in the mouth texture. If you prefer a firmer texture, use 250 g butter instead.
This is one dessert that will not disappoint - a guaranteed hit if you have friends around :)
These look moist and soft - just the way I like my brownies!:)
