Cut or break dark chocolate into small pieces and add to a medium sized heat proof bowl.

Add 2 sticks (1 cup) of butter, cut into pieces, to the bowl with the chocolate.

Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (bain-marie) without letting the water touch the bowl.

Leave the chocolate and butter to melt gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until smooth and glossy.

In a small bowl, measure out 1 cup of all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, and cocoa powder, and mix to combine.

Once the chocolate and butter have melted, remove the bowl from heat and measure out 2 cups of white sugar, adding it to the bowl.

Stir the sugar into the chocolate mixture until there are no lumps.

In a large mixing bowl, crack in 5 medium sized free range eggs and whisk for about a minute until frothy.

Pour the chocolate mixture into the eggs and whisk to combine.

Switch to a spatula and sprinkle the dry ingredients over the batter, folding together until shiny and no lumps remain, being careful not to over mix.

Pour the brownie batter into a lined and greased tin.

Place the tin into the oven to bake for about 30-40 minutes.

Check if the brownies are done by testing with a toothpick; there should be crumbs sticking to it but not raw batter.

Remove the brownies from the oven and cool completely in the tin before slicing.
