Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 220g white chocolate
- 100g butter
- 100g caster (superfine) sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla bean paste
- 3 tbsp Amaretto
- 80g flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170C Bake. Line a 8 inch square cake tin with greaseproof paper, or if you want a high cake type result use a loaf tin.
- Cut the butter into small cubes and place it into a large bowl. Allow it to come to room temperature (to speed up this process, you can heat it gently in the microwave for 10 second bursts until soft. Do not melt).
- Add the sugar and beat the two together using a hand mixer until very pale and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the bowl and beat again for another 30 seconds.
- Add the Amaretto. (At this stage the mixture will look as though it has split. Don't worry, this is normal. Once you add the chocolate and flour it will look smooth and delicious again.)
- Break the chocolate into small chunks and add to a medium bowl. Melt the chocolate, either over a double boiler or in the microwave. To melt it in the microwave, heat the chocolate for 25 seconds at a time. Between each heating, take the bowl out of the microwave and stir the chocolate for a few seconds. Once the chocolate has half melted, reduce the time to 15 second bursts, stirring between each heating, until the chocolate is all melted and smooth.
- Stir the melted chocolate into the brownie mixture.
- Sift over the flour and fold in gently.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin before removing, slicing and decorating as you wish.
