INGREDIENTS

• 125g salted butter, room temperature
• 150g soft light brown sugar
• 100g golden caster sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 200g plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 250g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

HOW TO MAKE IT

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180c. Put the butter and sugars into a bowl and beat for 3 to 4 minutes (use an electric beater if possible) until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time and then add the vanilla extract.
2. In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and add to the butter mixture. Beat until just combined then stir through the chocolate chunks.
3. Tip into a 20cm oven proof frying pan and bake for 25-30 minutes (25 minutes will be gooey, 30 minutes will be slightly more set). Serve with vanilla ice cream.
