Ingredients:

* 250 g castor [powdered] sugar

* 180 g Milk Chocolate

* 180 g soft butter

* 110 g plain flour (Maida)

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 3 eggs

* some butter for greasing

Recipe

1. This ones very simple to make... firstly.. grease the dish in which you will be baking the brownie. preheat the oven to 160 degree celsius or 320 farhenheit..

2. Now, in a double boiler, melt chocolate and butter together.

3. How to make a double boiler: basically double boiler is nothing but a bigger pan filled with water, and a smaller pan or heat proof vessel inside it which holds your stuff to be melted.

4. So in the larger pan add some water, and in the smaller vessel add the chocolate and butter, heat this assembly for about 10 minutes, and the butter and chocolate should start melting,[ tip: do not touch the mixture before the chocolate is melted, coz if you do so then the chocolate will be very difficult to melt after that!! once u see that the chocolate is melted then u can stir it] once they are melted, mix them together, put off the heat, remove the inner vessel and allow this mixture to cool...

5. Now, in a big bowl, break the 3 eggs, add the castor sugar to it, and 1 teaspoon vanilla essence. whisk this mixture thoroughly.. now add in the cooled chocolate butter mixture to it, and FOLD it [do not whisk] with a wooden spatula.... [FOLDING THE MIXTURE means u move the spatula in such a way as if ur folding it over and over again]

6.Now add in the maida/flour to it and then mix it in a cut-n-fold way which means u have to move the spatula in the figure of "8" basically.. this makes sure that your cake mixture is very airy and it mixes thoroughly making your cake soft and spongy. [ you can add in some chopped walnuts to this mixture now if you wanna make it a walnut brownie]

7. And now!! time to bake!

you can bake this mixture just like that in the greased pan or u place a butter paper on your baking dish... both ways its good but butter paper makes sure your cake does not stick to the pan so its really your choice.

8. Pour the brownie mixture on the dish and spread it evenly with your spatula... and bake it for 20-30 mins at a temperature of 160 degree celsius or 320 fahrenheit.

9. Check the cake once 20 mins are over

10. one tip to do that is take a clean and dry knife and just poke it inside the cake.. and see if it comes out clean.. if it comes out sticky means you still have to cook it for some more time but if it comes out clean means your cake is ready!!

11. Once your cake is ready take it out and let it cool outside for 30 minutes or so... and then you can cut it and serve!!
