Here is what you will need:

• Take the chocolate mixture off the heat

• Separate the eggs

• Add the egg yolks one by one while whisking, and remember not to stop whisking until all the egg yolks are mixed in

• Poor half of the left over sugar into the egg whites and stand to mix with an electric mixer

• When the eggs are starting to turn white and not translucent, add the rest of the sugar little at a time and mix until the egg whites form soft peaks

• Now add a little of the beaten egg whites to the chocolate mixture to loosen it up a bit

• Then fold the chocolate mixture into the eggs whites, be careful not to beat or mix, but fold

• Put your mixture in a lined baking tin (20/22cm) and bake for 40min

• Take out the brownie cake and let cool in the baking tin

• The cake will fall and crack but this is what we want

• When the cake is completely cooled, remove from the tin and dust with icing sugar
