ingredients

SERVES 8-12

300g light brown sugar

200g granulated sugar

200g Borderfields cold pressed rapeseed oil

4 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

125g cocoa powder

method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180˚C/. Mix the flour, cocoa powder and salt together in a small bowl. Then in another large mixing bowl whisk the oil, sugar and vanilla together. Add in one egg at a time and keep whisking for 4-5 mins until you have fully incorporated into a batter. It should lighten a little in colour.
  2. Gently fold in the cocoa powder, flour and salt. Then add in the melted chocolate and orange zest.
  3. Line a greased baking tray – I use the Borderfields spray oil to get a light coverage.
  4. Pour the batter into the tray and spread out with a palette knife. Then add segments of chocolate orange. Bake the chocolate orange brownies for 40 mins. Cool on a wire rack and cut into squares. This gooey chocolate brownie is delicous served warm with vanilla ice cream.
