Ingredients
  

  • 200 g Dark Chocolate (70% Cocoa)
  • 200 g Unsalted Butter
  • 275 g Caster Sugar
  • 3 large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 large Egg Yolk
  • 100 g Plain Flour
  • 50 g Dutch-processed Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C Fan/350°F). Line an 8x8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, and caster sugar together for 3-5 minutes until thick, pale, and leaving a trailing ribbon.
  4. Gently fold the cooled melted chocolate mixture into the whipped eggs using a spatula.
  5. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt over the wet mixture. Fold gently until just combined and no dry flour remains.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared tin. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set but the center has a slight wobble.
  7. Allow to cool completely in the tin, then chill in the fridge before slicing for the best fudgy texture.
