List of ingredients

  • 115 g unsalted butter
  • 225 g chocolate (70% cocoa)
  • 1 tsp instant coffee
  • Scant cup (~100 g) wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup (75 g) dark cocoa powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup (~50 g) kefir
  • 50 ml olive oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup (100 g) brown sugar
  • 3/8 cup (75 g) white sugar
  • 100 g chocolate chips
  • Salt flakes

Method

  1. Put 115 g butter, 225 g dark chocolate and 1 tsp instant coffee into a small pot. Heat up contents of the pot, stirring, until they just melt and combine. Once this happens, take the pot off heat and set aside to cool.
  2. Put 100 g wheat flour, 75 g dark cocoa and a generous pinch of salt into a bowl. Mix through with a whisk to distribute cocoa evenly in flour.
  3. Into a separate bowl add 3 eggs, 50 ml olive oil, 50 g kefir and 1 tsp vanilla extract.  Mix the contents of the bowl until fully combined and uniform.
  4. Add 75 g caster sugar and 100 g brown sugar to the liquid. Mix them in with a whisk until sugar dissolves.
  5. Add cool chocolate syrup to the batter. Mix everything together again until fully combined and slightly thicker.
  6. Add dry ingredients. Stir contents of the bowl with a silicone spatula just until you no longer see any cocoa or flour. Add chocolate chips at this point and stir them in.
  7. Transfer brownie batter into a square tin, 20 x 20 cm, lined with baking paper. Spread it evenly across the surface. Bake the cake in a conventional oven preheated to 180 deg C for 22 minutes.
  8. Take brownie out of the oven, sprinkle some salt flakes on top and set aside in the tin for at least one hour to set fully. Take if out of the tin then and slice it up.
  9. Enjoy!
