Ingredients
- 225g butter, diced, plus extra for greasing
- 200g plain chocolate, broken into pieces
- 200g cavolo nero, thick stalks removed
- 225g light soft brown sugar
- 3 medium eggs
- 100g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line the base of a 23cm square tin with baking paper. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
2. Meanwhile, cook the cavolo nero in boiling water for 3 - 4 minutes, cool under cold water and drain well, squeezing out any excess liquid, then finely chop. Whisk the sugar and eggs together for 5 minutes until pale, then fold into the chocolate mixture. Stir in the cavolo nero.
3. Mix together the flour and baking powder, then fold into the brownie mixture. Pour into the prepared tin. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until firm but with a gentle wobble in the middle. Leave to cool, then remove from the tin. Cut into 12 pieces, then serve with a chocolate sauce or cream, if liked.
