These are the easiest brownies to make and are dairy free. The saltiness of the pistachios enhances the flavour of the chocolate. They are very chocolatey but quite light.
Makes about 8 brownies.
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of vegetable oil, I use mild olive oil
1 cup light brown soft sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup of flour
50 g of pistachios, roughly chopped
I invented this cake years ago when I was living in a flat with a kitchen the size of a broom cupboard. I just didn’t have the space to bake and have food in the oven at the same time. I was cooking a birthday dinner party and this cake hit the spot. You can decorate as magnificently as you want.It is better eaten on the day, or kept in the fridge.
Serves 8-10.
