📝 Ingredients

For the brownie base:

200 g (1 ⅔ cups) all-purpose flour

250 g (1 ¼ cups) sugar

200 g (¾ cup + 2 tbsp) butter (82% fat), softened

150 ml (⅔ cup) milk

5 eggs

50 g (½ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tsp rum extract

7 g (1 packet) baking powder

150 g (1 ½ cups) ground walnuts

A pinch of salt

For the glaze:

250 g (9 oz) dark chocolate (preferably 60–70% cocoa)

50 ml (3 tbsp + 1 tsp) heavy cream (for whipping)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the brownie batter:

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt until light, fluffy, and creamy in texture.
Add the softened butter and mix well until incorporated.
Pour in the milk and rum extract, stirring gently.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and ground walnuts. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth and slightly thick.

2. Baking:

Pour the batter into a baking pan (approximately 30×20 cm / 12×8 inches) lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before glazing.

3. Make the chocolate glaze:

In a saucepan or over a bain-marie, gently melt the dark chocolate with the cream, stirring constantly until smooth, glossy, and silky.
Pour the glaze over the cooled brownie and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Optional: Sprinkle with ground walnuts or chocolate flakes for a decorative finish.

✨ Final Result?

A dense, slightly moist brownie bursting with rich chocolate flavor, wrapped in a velvety chocolate glaze. Each slice is an irresistible indulgence – perfect alongside a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk.
