For these brownies, you do not need to melt chocolate, all you need is good dark cacao (use unsweetened, natural cocoa powder). The cooking process is really easy, and will not take a lot of time. Give it a try, and I'm going to make some coffee and have a slice or two.


Ingredients

  • 50 gram unsalted butter
  • 75 gram sugar
  • 30 gram unsweetened cacao powder (natural)
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cold large egg
  • 35 gram flour
  • 40-60 gram walnut or other nuts
