Ingredients

200g Extra Special Ivory Coast Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa solids), broken into pieces

200g butter, softened

3 large eggs

250g soft brown sugar

100g plain flour

1 level tsp baking powder

4 tbsp chopped mint leaves (about 1/2 x 28g pack, stems removed)

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3. Line a 22cm square tin with baking paper.
2
Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl, then set it over a pan of simmering water - make sure the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Leave until almost melted, then remove from heat. Stir until completely melted.
3
In another large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until foamy. Stir in the chocolate mixture until just evenly blended.
4
Sift the flour and baking powder together. Stir into the chocolate mixture with the mint. Pour in the tin.
5
Bake for 50-60 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
