Life is too short. Eat dessert first!

*This post doesn't fit in with my usual themes that I blog about,however baking is one of the things I love, so O decided to post about it anyway!*

Chocolate and cake is probably my two favourite desserts, and this recipe combines them both together- resulting in Triple Chocolate Brownies!
This is a very simple recipe to follow, and it is fairly mess free too!
So you need the following ingredients:
100g dark chocolate (I use 85% cocoa)
85g of margarine/butter (preferably at room temperature)
50g white chocolate
50g milk chocolate (my favourite is Cadburys!)
2 eggs
130g of caster sugar
100g SR Flour
A dessert spoon of baking powder

1. Heat the oven to gas mark 4. Cut some baking paper so that it fits your oven proof dish
2. Melt the dark chocolate and margarine in a bowl (This can be down in a microwave or over the hob-be careful not to burn the chocolate!
3. Cut the white and milk chocolate into pieces-you can also add some extra dark if you wish!
4. Whisk the eggs and sugar for approx 5 mins using an electric whisk until thick and very frothy.
5. Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture over the top and mix in very gently using a metal spoon.
6. Sift in the flour and the baking powder over the top and carefully fold in.
7. Pour the mixture into the lined tin. Sprinkle the white and milk (and dark!) chocolate pieces over the top.
8. Bake the cake for about 20-25 minutes until the top is crusty and the centre wobbles slightly.
Then cut and enjoy!
You can also freeze these for around 3 weeks, which I've done a few times and it doesn't affect the quality of the. at all.
