Chocolate Chip Brownie Cake

Ingredients

• 115g butter
  
• 200g sugar
• 6½ tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 125g all-purpose flour
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• 150g chocolate chips

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C/160˚C fan/gas mark 4.
2. Melt the butter in an oven-proof pan over a medium-low heat. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the sugar and cocoa until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Using a Mixer or spoon, quickly stir in the egg; then add the flour and baking powder and mix until combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir.
4. Pour into a cake tin or high-sided baking tray, and bake for 16-18 minutes, until the edges are set like a cookie but the centre is still a little wobbly to the touch. If you're serving as a brownie rather than a dessert, you may want it slightly firmer.
5. Allow to sit for 5-7 minutes, then cut into portions and serve with vanilla ice cream.
