James and I have decided for good that we need to make a change. We have watched our bellies get rounder and our fitness decline for long enough, so starting Monday we are making some changes. Hence why yesterday I decided we would go out like a bang. Whipped up this bad boy that I found in the mag BBC Good Food.
Ingredients:
- 250g butter, plus extra for greasing
- 200g dark chocolate
- 50g white chocolate
- 375g golden caster sugar
- 5 medium eggs
- 50g plain flour, plus 1 tbsp
- 85g cocoa
- Half a tsp baking powder
- 200g tub cream cheese
Method:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan
- Grease and line a 20x30cm tin with baking parchment. Finely chop 150g dark chocolate, and roughly chop the remaining dark chocolate and the white chocolate. Put the finely chopped chocolate in a bowl and melt over a small pan of gently simmering water. Set aside to cool a little.
- Put the butter and 350g sugar in a bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Add 4 of the eggs, beating well between each addition, then sift in the flour, cocoa, baking powder and a good pinch of salt. Finally, stir in the melted chocolate and the chopped chocolate chunks. Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface.
- Working quickly, tip the cream cheese into a bowl and beat to soften with a spatula. Add the remaining egg, flour and sugar, and mix until combined. Spoon blobs onto the brownie mixture until it is used up. Using a knife or skewer swirl the two mixtures together to get a marble effect.
- Bake for 30mins until just set - it should still have a little wobble when it comes out of the oven, and a skewer inserted into the centre should come out with sticky crumbs (Mines took a little longer cause my oven is, well, it's shite)
- Completely let it cool in the tin before cutting into squares to serve.
Enjoy!
