How to make Chocolate Fudge Brownies
Preheat the oven to 170°C.
Begin by double-boiling the butter and chocolate until fully melted and smooth.
Transfer the melted butter and chocolate into a mixing bowl.
Add both caster sugar and brown sugar to the bowl. Mix gently until the sugars are just combined—avoid whipping the mixture until fluffy.
Gradually add the eggs one at a time, breaking them separately if you prefer, stirring well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla essence until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and cocoa powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold them in gently, aiming for a fudgy texture—do not overmix.
Prepare a 10-inch by 10-inch baking pan by lining it with baking paper.
Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Tap the pan gently about three times on the counter to release any air bubbles before baking.
Bake at 170c °C preheated oven for 30 - 35 mins, depending on your oven.

FAQS
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Yes, you can substitute milk chocolate for dark chocolate, but the brownies will be sweeter and less intense in chocolate flavor. Adjust the sugar accordingly.
How do I store the brownies?
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Can I add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter?
Yes, you can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for added texture and flavor. Fold them in gently before pouring the batter into the baking tray.
What is the ideal oven temperature for baking these brownies?
The ideal oven temperature is 170°C. Ensure your oven is preheated to this temperature before baking for even cooking.
How can I prevent the brownies from becoming too dry?
Avoid overbaking the brownies. Check for doneness around the 30-minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out with moist crumbs attached.
