    1. Step 1

      Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C, 350°F, gas mark 4).

    2. Step 2

      Grease and base line a 14cm square tin.

    3. Step 3

      Put the chocolate and margarine in a large bowl over a pan of just-simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir until the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat and stir until smooth.

    4. Step 4

      Add the other ingredients to the bowl and mix well. Spoon into the tin, levelling the surface with the back of a spoon.

    5. Step 5

      Bake for 25 minutes or until risen and firm around the edges but a little soft in the centre.

    6. Step 6

      Cool in the tin for 15 minutes. The brownie will continue to cook as it cools.

    7. Step 7

      Serve warm with fromage frais or sliced for afternoon tea.
