How to make chocolate brownies

2. Put all the sifted powders (flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder) in a bowl and, separately, whip the eggs with the sugar with electric whisks or with a hand whisk.
3. Now incorporate the whipped eggs into the chocolate glaze with a spatula, stirring from bottom to top to prevent it from disassembling everything, then add the powders and mix everything delicately in the same way.
4. Take a 20×20 cm rectangular mold lined with baking paper and pour the dough into it. Bake, after leveling it well, for about 30 minutes in the oven at 180°C until a crumbly crust forms on the surface.
5. Once ready, let the brownie cake cool for a few minutes before cutting it into squares.

You can, if you like, enrich the brownies with dried fruit, in this case we advise you to add about 150 g of dried fruit (walnuts, hazelnuts or similar) to the dough before informing, mix gently and then proceed with cooking.
