Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Brownies
- 2 1/2 cups caster sugar
- 1 3/16 cups dark chocolate Quality
- 1 1/8 cups unsalted butter
- 4 large free range eggs
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 7 2/3 tablespoons flour Plain Guten Free, Asda own brand is amazing
- 5/8 cup raisins Dried, /Cherries
- 1 teaspoon baking powder Gluten Free
- 7/8 ounce chocolate Drops
- 1 1/3 tablespoons fudge Pieces
- Preheat oven to 180c (Fan)
- Break chocolate into a glass bowl and sit over a saucepan of slowly simmering water. This will melt the chocolate without splitting the cocoa solids and cocoa butter, but make sure the glass bowl is not touching the simmering water.
- In another bowl, use an electric mixer to whisk butter and sugar together. Once butter is creamed add eggs one at a time (this makes sure mixture does not split and curdle).
- Next, chop the raisins finely and add to the butter/sugar mix.
- Next, pour and melted chocolate in to the mixture and mix together, then slowly start adding the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder (sieve flour to remove lumps).
- Once mixture is well mixed, you can add any extras you like, ie 25g of fudge pieces, 25g of chocolate drops, 25g of small marshmallow pieces.
- Line a large baking tray with buttered grease proof paper (use wrapping from butter to grease as this will still have some butter on it, or use a few squirts of spray oil). Now pour in your mixture about an inch thick and place towards the top of the oven and bake for between 15-20 minutes.
- Test brownie by placing a skewer or toothpick in and pulling it out, it should come out clean. You can also test by giving it a little wobble. If it seems to be still too liquid under the crust then give it a few more minutes. It's best to have a slightly underdone brownie than overdone as the flour will still set as it cools.
- Once cooled, dust with icing sugar, cut in to squares and enjoy.
- Best served slightly warmed up with some ice cream and fudge sauce!!
