Chocolate and Ginger Brownies

Apparently, there are two camps when it comes to brownies.  Those who like the sticky fudgy ones and those who are more inclined towards the cakey ones.  I, firmly, sit on the fence.  Best of both worlds. 

These are definitely for ‘Camp Cakey’

Ingredients

125gr salted butter

125gr plain/dark chocolate

125gr light brown sugar

125gr plain flour

1 piece of stem ginger in syrup, finely grated

1tbsp of stem ginger syrup

2 tsp ground ginger (add more or less dependent on taste, I’d happily add 4tsp but I had to share these…)

2 eggs

3tbsp milk

Method

1, Melt the butter and chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water

2, Beat in the sugar and set aside to cool

3, Line a 7 inch square baking tin with baking paper (or foil and grease it) and preheat the oven to 180o/c

4, Stir into the cooled chocolate/butter/sugar, the ginger (grated, syrup and powder), then the eggs, then the flour and finally the milk, beating well after each addition.

5, Pour into the cake tin and bake for 15-20 minutes until just springy to the touch

6, Cut into square and serve hot or cold
