5. Remove and set aside to cool a little.
6. Add the melted chocolate to a large bowl.
7. Add the cocoa, sugar and vanilla and mix to combine.
8. Pour the mixture into the cake tin and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or when the cake starts to come away from the sides of the cake tin.
9. Remove from the oven and leave it to cool in the tin for about 10-15 minutes.
10. Cut into sqaures and remove squares from the tin.
11. Serve with a sprinkling of pure icing sugar and add some berries on the side before serving.
These brownies can also be served with some fresh, plain, skim organic yogurt if desired, for a more decadent dessert.
