  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1¾ cups white sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unflavoured oil
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 4 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅔ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 125g Whittakers Hazella Chocolate, broken into squares

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 50g Whittakers Hazella Chocolate
  • 2 tsp oil

Toppings

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Toasted chopped hazelnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C fan bake to ensure even cooking for the brownies.
  2. Prepare the baking tray: Line a 26 x 32 cm tray with baking paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the sugar, salt, vanilla extract, unflavoured oil, and melted butter. Add the eggs and whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. Add dry ingredients: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder into the wet mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and silky without lumps.
  5. Add chocolate chunks: Fold in the 125g of broken Whittakers Hazella Chocolate pieces, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared tray and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center bounces back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
  7. Prepare the chocolate drizzle (optional): Gently melt the extra 50g of chocolate in a small bowl by microwaving for 10 seconds at a time, stirring in between, then add 2 teaspoons of oil to achieve a drizzling consistency.
  8. Serve the Sundae: Slice the cooled brownies into pieces. Serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream, drizzle with the melted chocolate mixture, and sprinkle with toasted chopped hazelnuts for a crunchy finish.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature to help the batter mix smoothly and produce a tender crumb.
  • Do not overbake the brownies; they should be moist and slightly fudgy in the center.
  • The optional chocolate drizzle adds an extra layer of richness but can be skipped if preferred.
  • For an added nutty flavor, you can fold some toasted hazelnuts into the batter before baking.
  • Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
