Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Treat

Time 1h5m

Yield Cuts into 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

200g butter , chopped
200g gluten-free dark chocolate , roughly chopped
350g golden caster sugar
50g gluten-free self-raising flour blend
50g ground almond
50g cocoa
1 tsp xanthan gum
4 large eggs , beaten
50g walnut , broken or roughly chopped
100g butter , chopped
2 heaped tbsp cocoa
200g icing sugar , sifted
2 tbsp milk
50g walnut , broken or roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 20 x 30cm brownie tin with baking parchment. Tip the butter and chocolate into a non-stick saucepan and melt over a low heat, stirring every now and then, until smooth - take care not to overheat it. Leave to cool.
  • Meanwhile, mix the sugar, flour, cocoa and almonds with the xanthan gum. Stir into the chocolate mixture, then beat in the eggs and add the walnuts. Turn the mixture into the tin, level with a spatula and bake for 30-35 mins until firm and just cooked - when tested with a skewer, the crumb should still be a little moist. Cool in the tin.
  • To make the icing, melt the butter in a non-stick pan. Stir in the cocoa and cook, stirring, for about 1 min. Add the icing sugar and milk, and beat well. Pour on top of the cooled cake, scatter with the walnuts and lightly press them in. Leave until set, then carefully remove from the tin, strip off the baking parchment and cut into squares. Will keep for several days in a tin.

Tips & Conclusion

  • Use good quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better your squares will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the squares until they are just set: Overbaking will make the squares dry and crumbly. Bake them just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the squares cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

These chocolate squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal dinner party. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these chocolate squares a try.
