I am not a massive fan of orange chocolate but these are yum. The recipe is an adaptation of Jamie Oliver's chocolate brownie recipe. I know the salt may sound a little weird, but think salted caramel. The salt brings out the flavour of the chocolate and makes it taste more chocolatey.
What you will need:
250g unsalted butter
200g good dark chocolate
80g cocoa powder
65g plain flour
350g caster sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
zest of 1 orange
pinch of ground rock salt
Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees and grease and line a square tin
Melt your chocolate and butter over a pan of simmering water in a bain marie. In another bowl mix together your flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder.
Once your chocolate has melted take it off the heat, add the grated orange zest and whist in your two eggs. Then slowly add in your dry mixture until fully combined.
Pour your mixture into your greased tin and bake for around 30/35 minutes. Keep checking and make sure your brownies are still gooey when they leave the oven. They will firm as they cool. Once cool, cut into slices and store in a tin - if they last that long ;)
