How to Make The Maven's Fudge Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 30cm x 30cm square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt together 200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), 200g unsalted butter, 50g unsweetened cocoa powder, and 50ml vegetable oil, stirring constantly until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, and 250g granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for 8-10 minutes, until the mixture is thick, pale, and ribbon-like.
  5. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Then, fold in 150g all-purpose flour and 100g chopped walnuts until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached (but not wet).
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out and cutting into 16 squares. Dust with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy!
