Adding orange zest and cranberries give a lovely fresh fruity flavour to these brownies. Again, I am using my tried and tested brownie recipe and added the orange and cranberries to add to the chewy gooey brownie texture.

You will need:

• 135g Dark Chocolate (broken into squares)
• 135g Butter
• 1tsp Vanilla extract
• 2 Eggs
• 225g Caster Sugar
• 135g Plain Flour
• 1/2tsp baking Powder
• Grated zest of one orange
• 90g Dried Cranberries

Method:

• Grease and line a square 20cm tin and preheat the oven to 180degrees
• Melt the chocolate and the butter together over a Bain Marie (heat proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water); take care not to overheat the chocolate and butter.
• Once the butter and chocolate has melted, remove from the heat and add the vanilla extract and stir well, put to one side and allow to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the sugar has dissolved in the eggs and they look think and creamy.
• Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the eggs and sugar making sure it is well incorporated.
• Sift in the flour and baking powder and fold though to ensure there are no lumps of flour.
• Fold through the orange zest and dried cranberries, making sure they are both well distributed.
• Pour into the prepared tin and level the top.
• Bake for about 30 mins.
• Allow to cool completely in the tin before removing.
• Cut into squares and enjoy!
