Step-by-Step Instructions
01
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4). Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin with parchment paper.
02
In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter, light brown sugar, chocolate pieces, and golden syrup. Stir until the mixture is smooth and glossy, then remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
03
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and golden caster sugar together for several minutes until the mixture is pale, light, and fluffy. This step is crucial for the brownie's texture.
04
Stir the vanilla extract into the egg mixture. Sift in the plain flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Pour in the melted chocolate mixture and fold everything together quickly until just combined.
05
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared tin. Drop spoonfuls of dulce de leche or chocolate hazelnut spread across the surface. Cover with the remaining batter and add a few more dollops of spread on top if desired.
