This is another recipe from my cafe! These gluten free brownies were extremely popular and I had to make quite a few trays of these a week.
People have even requested them for their weddings. I am really proud of this recipe and it was very popular in the cafe.

To make the brownies you must first melt the chocolate, butter and cocoa powder in a heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water. Make sure the bowl is not touching the water. Stir until all the ingredients are fully melted. Remove the bowl from the pan and put aside to cool.
In a stand mixer put the eggs, brown sugar and vanilla extract and with a whisk attachment mix until light and fluffy.
Then whisk in the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture until fully combined.
Add the flour and fold in gently until all the flour is combined.
The mixture is then poured into the tin and blobs of the caramel are dotted on top.
Then using a skewer roughly mix to give a marbled effect.
Then bake! They should have a slight wobble in the middle! Do not be tempted to bake for more than 25 minutes or you will have dry cake like brownies. These brownies are fudgy and gooey which is what all my customers loved! When they are completely cool you will be able to cut it into squares and enjoy.and when cool cut into squares.

I used a 10 x 8 inch brownie tin for this bake and use it for lots of traybakes so it is a very versatile tin.
A Bain Marie is simply a heatproof bowl over a pan of water ensuring the bowl does not touch the water.
Always use a good quality baking dark chocolate.
