Pecan Nut Chocolate Brownies

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line and grease a 22 cm x 32 cm pan with baking paper allowing for an overhang of 10 cm on each side.
2. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
3. Place butter and chocolate in a double boiler or a glass bowl over a tight-fitting pot of gently simmering water. Melt over low heat until smooth and glossy.
4. Add white sugar to the chocolate and stir to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool.
5. Add eggs, flour mixture and pecan nuts to the cooled chocolate mixture and mix until just combined.
6. Pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
7. Cool slightly, turn out and cut into squares.
