I was sent some nice freebies from the people at American Soda, the American sweet website so I made these fab brownies with the ingredients. There’s a crunchy texture to the top of the brownie, whilst the inside remains slightly gooey – exactly how a brownie should be!

I’ve been looking for a very special chocolate cake recipe for a while – one that actually tastes chocolatey. The recipes I have suggest putting a tablespoon of cocoa powder in a normal victoria sponge but this never ever tastes good to me! This recipe doesn’t use any raising agent surprisingly and comes from The Telegraph from many years ago.
