Preparation
Step 1
Start by pre-heating your oven to 160° (325° F, Gas Mark 3) and grease an 8" square tin.
Melt the butter and chocolate together in a bain marie or in a microwave.
Step 2
Meanwhile, crack the 3 eggs into a mixing bowl or food processor, and add in the golden caster sugar. Whisk or whizz on maximum speed, until the mixture becomes paler and doubles in size.
Step 3
Pour in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, and blend again to turn it a light brown.
Sift in the flour and cocoa, and whizz just enough to ensure the two mixtures are combined. If not using a processor, gently fold the sieved powders in with a wooden spoon.
Step 4
Now, pour all of the mixture into your greased baking tin, and and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a knife pressed into the centre comes out clean.
Step 5
To remove from the tin, gently run a knife round the edge of the tin, cut brownies into squares and carefully lift out.
