Background
These Orange and cranberry brownies are gluten-free, dairy-free and fat-free. They are soft and gooey because the chocolate and ground almond provide enough fat. If you want them firmer add some coconut or rice flour to the mixture. They are perfect snacks during the winter festivities - also they make lovely edible gifts!
Ingredients
- 100g dark good quality chocolate
- 50g unrefined cane sugar
- 25g vanilla sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- Grated zest of 1 orange
- 2 Tbsp orange liqueur (optional)
- Β½ tsp baking powder
- ΒΌ teaspoon salt
- 100g ground almond
- 50g coconut or rice flour (optional)
- 2 handfuls of dried cranberries
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water. Let it cool.
- Preheat the oven to 170Β°C.
- Add the sugar and eggs to the cool chocolate, stir to combine. Stir in the bicarbonate of soda & salt, then the orange zest and liqueur (if used) or juice.
- Add the ground almond & flour (if used) and stir to combine. Fold in the cranberries.
- Tip the mixture into a lined baking tin (about 20x20 cm) and spread out evenly.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Donβt overbake - the middle of the cake should be gooey i.e. not cooked through entirely.
- Let it cool in the tin then slice into squares.
Tips
Before slicing the cake freeze it for 10 minutes or chill for an hour in the fridge - this will allow you to slice it more easily, without too many crumbs.Categories
