Salted Olive Oil Brownies
- 120 milliliters (1/2 cup) extra virgin olive oil
- 226 grams (8 ounces) bittersweet chocolate
- 90 grams (1/2 cup or 3.17 ounces) granulated sugar
- 80 grams (around 1/2 cup, loose or 2.8 ounces) brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- zest from 1/4 of a lime
- 80 grams (2/3 cup or 2.8 ounces) plain flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fleur de sal or flaky sea salt, to sprinkle on top
- Preheat your oven to 180u0b0C (350u0b0F), grease very well with olive oil a 20 cm (8 inches) round springform cake tin, or a 22 cm (9 x 9 inches) square pan (if using the square pan, make sure to also line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides). Set aside.
- In a medium heat safe bowl, combine the olive oil and the chocolate. Place over a small pot of simmering water and heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is fully melted and combined. Leave it to cool slightly. Add the sugars to the chocolate mixture and beat well to combine, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla and the lime zest. Add the flour and salt and mix just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist, clumpy crumbs, something between 20 to 25 minutes. Top with the fleur de sal and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
