- 150 grams dark chocolate, broken into pieces provides deep chocolate flavor
- 50 grams caster sugar or granulated sugar adds sweetness

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to the desired temperature and prepare your baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the unsalted butter and broken dark chocolate pieces over a simmering pot of water to melt.
- Once melted and smooth, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Mixing
- Add Nutella, caster sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the cooled chocolate mixture and mix until smooth.
- Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
- Slowly fold in the plain flour and a pinch of salt until no dry flour remains, being careful not to overmix.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Dollop the remaining Nutella over the batter and gently swirl using a knife or the back of a spoon.
- Bake until set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center, then cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For best results, ensure the chocolate mixture is warm and not hot when adding the eggs, and do not overmix the batter. Leftovers can be enjoyed as a snack throughout the week.
