60G (1/2 CUP) COCOA POWDER (WE USE CALLEBAUT FROM BELGIUM)
1 TSP VANILLA EXTRACT
METHOD
TO BEGIN, MELT THE BUTTER AND DARK CHOCOLATE TOGETHER IN THE MICROWAVE. HEAT ON A LOW SETTING (450W) FOR 1 MINUTE, STIR, THEN REPEAT TWICE UNTIL BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE ARE MELTED.
WHILE WAITING FOR THE CHOCOLATE TO COOL, WHISK THE EGG, VANILLA AND SUGAR TOGETHER.
ONCE THE CHOCOLATE MIXTURE HAS COOLED, GENTLY FOLD IN THE EGG MIXTURE USING A SPATULA.
GENTLY FOLD THE DRY INGREDIENTS (FLOUR & COCOA) INTO THE WET, UNTIL WELL COMBINED. BE CAUTIOUS NOT TO OVER-MIX.
POUR THE MIXTURE INTO A LIGHTLY GREASED BAKING TIN.
