Big heavy chocolatey recipe

Whispered

In my presses at the moment I have

Muscavado sugar
whole wheat flour
self raising flour
A bit of 80% choc
cocoa powder
Baking powder
Bicarb soda
Golden syrup.

I do have eggs (only 2) & butter, but no milk.


EDIT: I found a recipe which calls for a bit more chocolate than I have, can I make up the taste with a bit of cocoa powder?
Also, it calls for plain flour, can I use the wholemeal instead?

I'd say you could make something along the lines of brownies with those ingedients. I think the taste of the wholemeal flour would probably be covered by the muscovado and choc. And I'm sure you could make up the chocolate shortfall with cocoa powder, maybe adding a bit more butter for moistness.

Here's a brownie recipe that doesn't need chocolate. If you don't have that much cocoa powder, use as much as you have, and make the rest up with drinking chocolate.

Makes 1 x 8"x8” square

Ingredients:

• 170g Butter, melted
• 105g Cocoa powder
• 200g Sugar
• 2 Eggs, cold
• 70g Self-raising flour
• 1/8 tsp Salt
• 150g Caster sugar

Directions:
1. Melt butter. Add cocoa powder.
2. Add sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add flour. Mix until just combined.
3. Bake on middle shelf @ 160c for 40-45 mins.

I made brownies from a recipe I found online, just substituting dark muscavado sugar for the normal sugar and whole wheat flour and a tsp of baking powder for the self raising. The choc flavour comes from cocoa so the bit of dark choc I had, I just crushed and put into the mixture.

The result, a moist and slightly nutty, treacly and sticky brownie which I have remade twice since I started this thread.

Without a doubt the nicest thing I have ever baked!
