Chocolate Brownie is an American classic but for me, it is more than this… This is my favourite cake because it is smooth. I love it warm with vanilla ice cream or cold for my lunch box!

• 200g dark chocolate (and only dark, please!)
• 130g sugar
• 150g butter
• 10g vanilla sugar
• 50g flour
• 3 eggs
• 50g pecan nuts
• 1 teapoon of baking soda

Pre-heat the oven to 180C.

Set a bowl over, but not touching, a pan of simmering water, and add 200g of the chocolate, broken into pieces. Allow to melt, stirring occasionally, and then remove from the heat immediately.

In a pan, melt the butter.

In a bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar, vanillar sugar. Then add the flour, the baking soda and the melted butter.

Add the pecan nuts and after the melted chocolate. Stir a little bit and pour the mixture in a tin.

Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C and 10 minutes at 160°C.
