It's very easy to follow and good for beginners.be warned though,this is very sweet!

method

1. grease the baking tin with the soft butter and line it with baking parchment.
2. turn on the oven and set it to 160 degrees.
3. fill a saucepan with a little water and set a heatproof bowl on top.make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
4. put the chocolate and butter in the bowl and use a low heat.stir gently until it melts.let it cool.
5. mix together the eggs,sugar and vanilla in another bowl.
6. fold in the chocolate mixture.add the remaining ingredients.
7. bake.check after 20-30 minutes.the brownies should be soft but not springy.
