I have just eaten about 10 chocolate brownies after reading this. Obviously I got distracted by the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook, so er, I didn’t realise how much I was eating…

Hey Catty ..

thanks for sharing!! Thought I’d also pass on a fave choc-cake recipe of mine. chocolate + gooey = decadent goodness, right? Anyway, it’s here:

Well I thought it was a long time, I used the gas section of my oven as wen I cook things in the electric fan oven they come out really dry…I might try blasting them for five mins in the fan oven to see if it will finish them off!!

Hi Lisa!

An extra 30 mins sounds like a really long time! Mine usually come out a little goo-ey but they become solid after a few minutes. One of my friends also had to bake the brownies for longer (extra 20 mins I think) but that was because her oven doesn’t seal properly so it’s probably not as hot. That’s so weird that you had to bake it so much longer… this recipe I use over and over and over again and it always works. Glad it tasted good though! xx
