Chocolate Brownies
Makes 15
175g (6oz) margarine
350g (12oz) caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 eggs
100g (4oz) plain flour
1 level teaspoon of baking powder
75g (3oz) cocoa
175g (6oz) walnuts or pecan nuts (optional if you like nuts)
An oblong tin 22x30x2.5cm (9x12x1in) or nearest!
1. Put your cake tin on a piece of greaseproof paper or baking parchment. Draw around it and cut out the shape.
2. Grease the tin. Lay the paper in the tin and grease the top of it. Turn the oven on to 180 deg C, 350 deg F, Gas mark 4.
3. Put the margarine into a pan and melt it over a low heat. Pour it into a large mixing bowl, then add the sugar and vanilla essence.
4. Break the eggs into a small bowl and beat them. Add them to the large bowl, a little at a time. Beat them in well.
5. Sift the flour into the bowl and add the baking powder and cocoa. Stir everything together so that everything is mixed well.
6. Put the nuts onto a chopping board and cut them into small pieces. Add them to the mixture and stir it well again. (optional step if nuts required)
7. Pour the mixture into the cake tin and smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Bake it for about 40 minutes.
8. The Brownies are ready when they have risen and have formed a crust on top. They should still be soft in the middle.
9. Leave the Brownies in the tin for five minutes then cut them into 15 squares. Leave them on a wire rack to cool.
