Ingredients of Christmas Brownies

• 200 Gram Dark Chocolate (best quality, 70% cocoa solids))
• 150 Gram Plain flour
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• A pinch of Salt
• 120 Gram Soft Butter, unsalted
• 200 Gram Vanilla sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 Egg yolk
• 4 Tbsp Coffee (freshly made, strong)
• For Buttercream:

How to Make Christmas Brownies

• 1.Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• 2.Line the bottom and sides of a 30 x 22cm roasting pan or baking dish with kitchen foil.
• 3.Break the chocolate into pieces and gently melt in a double boiler or in a bowl set over simmering water.
• 4.Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
• 5.Cream the butter and sugar for 3-5 minutes until really light and fluffy.
• 6.Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the extra yolk. Pour in the melted chocolate and the coffee. Fold in the sifted flour.
• 7.Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Scatter the hazelnuts over the top, gently pushing them into the dough.
• 8.Bake for about 25 minutes. Test with a skewer - it shouldn't come out completely clean but the mixture should not feel raw. (It will go on cooking after you take it out of the oven.)
• 9.Leave to cool in the tin before cutting into triangles.
• 10.Beat softened butter in a mixer till light and fluffly. Slowly add the icing sugar.
• 11.Add the color and beat till well mixed. Scrape out from the mixer bowl and scoop into the piping bag already fitted with a 4 number round nozzle.
• 12.Pipe onto the triangle brownie as shown into the picture. Serve immediately.
