Advantages: Gluten Free, lovely fresh taste, great with cream

Disadvantages: You get messy hands

My partner is a coeliac and as such she can't eat any kind of wheat or gluten, this means for the most part she has to eat some pretty awful bread and pastries if at all.

Yesterday I attempted a recipe for Chocolate Brownies which worked out fantastically, it was really soft with a chocolatey centre, the next day it still tastes marvellous and is a dream with whipped cream, enclosed is the recipe for your attention.

Ingredients

3 eggs
200g Sugar
100g Doves Farm Gluten Free Self Raising Flour
150g Decent Cooking Chocolate, I used Sainsburys Dark cooking chocolate
100g Butter

Ok so to start the cooking I put my oven on 220 degrees to begin heating it up. I then put 200g of normal sugar in a bowl, cracked 3 eggs into the bowl and whisked until they were really well melded together and the mixture dripped from the whisk.

I then added the flour and whisked again. This became much harder to whisk but eventually I had a yellowy mixture that looked strange but had a nice consistency.

I placed the 100g of butter (cut into small knobs) and chocolate (broken into smaller pieces) in a bowl over a saucepan of bubbling water (only use a little water as you don't want it touching the bowl), this melted the butter and chocolate which I mixed together, once all had melted and it had a terrific dark brown consistency, I poured this in with the sugar/egg/flour mixture and whisked again to make a lovely thick brown mixture.

I had a small round cake tin ready with baking paper covering it, I made sure this was buttered to make the cake come away easily once cooked.

Pour the mixture into the pre-prepared cake tin, place in the oven for 35 minutes and when it comes out it should be lovely and brown, the middle has a bit of give and there may be cracks around the edges. I then left it to cool and sprinkled with icing Sugar.

It tasted fantastic and was so easy and ingredient friendly.
