Ingredients

250g Luxury Dark cooking chocolate
250g butter
100g luxury milk cooking chocolate
4 eggs
200g caster sugar
75g self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
100g Luxury White cooking Chocolate

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4
Break the dark chocolate into a saucepan, add the butter and heat very gently ( do not rush this - it will take a while but go too fast and the chocolate will boil and taste bitter!)Stir it all the while until thoroughly melted. Take off the heat to cool for about ten minutes.
2. Meanwhile line a roasting tin (c18x28x4cm) with greaseproof paper leaving plenty up the sides.
3. Cut the milk and white chocolate into small (about size of a fingernail) chunks.
4. Use an electric whisk to beat the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl.Do this for about five minutes.
5. Fold in the cooled chocolate and butter mixture. Sift in the flour and baking powder and fold in. Pour into the tin and level off
6. Scatter the diced chocolate over the top and put in the oven. It will take about 25-30 minutes and you are trying to get the top to harden, crack and split open. This is a fine line as too long and the top will dry out and start to burn - but time it right and the top looks like an earthquake zone and the bottom remains moist.
7. lift out of the tin using the greaseproof paper, peel away edges and cut into squares.
