Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons (40 g) unsalted butter
• 3 oz (85 g) dark chocolate, chopped
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup brown sugar (or granulated sugar)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Melt the chocolate and butter:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the butter and dark chocolate until smooth. Stir well and let cool slightly.
2. Mix the wet ingredients:
   • In a bowl, beat the egg and sugar with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes or until light and fluffy.
   • Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar, mixing continuously until well combined.
3. Add the dry ingredients:
   • Sift together flour, salt and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
   • Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until well combined, being careful not to overmix.
4. Preparation and cooking:
   • Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a cake tin with parchment paper.
   • Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
   • If desired, sprinkle additional chocolate chips, nuts or berries on top for added flavor.

5. Cook and serve:
   • Bake the brownie in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
