Chocolate Brownies

Egg Free Recipe

Here is my afternoon tea recipe for my chocolate brownies. Normally I would serve these with vanilla ice cream but cut into bite size pieces and dusted with icing sugar they are perfect for a tea party.

This recipe makes 9 medium slices or 18 small slices.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup plain flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon caster sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 cup (115 gms) butter at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons thick yoghurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee
• 1/2 cup hot water

Decorations:

1. Icing sugar

Method:

• Sieve the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in one bowl
• Whisk the butter, condensed milk, sugar, yoghurt and vanilla extract together until smooth in another bowl
• Add the sieved dry ingredients slowly to the above mixture and whisk to combine until light and fluffy.
• Dissolve the coffee in the hot water and mix into the batter.
• Put the mixture into a greased and floured square brownie tin.
• In a pre-heated oven bake at 180c for 20/25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle of the cake comes out dry
