Step 2 - Add Caster Sugar & Cocoa Powder
Add the caster sugar and cocoa powder to the melted butter.
Mix for 20 seconds, Speed 4 (scraping the sides of the bowl down after 10 seconds).
NOTE: The mixture will be very thick and grainy at this stage.

FAQ's
Yes! But if you don't have a Thermomix machine, you can find my conventional brownie recipe here.
If you don't have caster sugar, you can use place regular white sugar into the Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 seconds on Speed 5. Use as a replacement for caster sugar.
A regular sized piece of brownie contains approximately 140 calories.
There's absolutely NO need to add chocolate to this recipe! The flavour is SO ridiculously rich and chocolatey as it is!
To keep these Thermomix brownies mega dense and rich, we use only plain flour and NO rising agent. By using self-raising flour, or by adding baking powder or bi-carbonate soda, this would result in a cake-like chocolate texture... not decadent, dense and fudgy brownies!
Expert Tips
To ensure easy removal of the brownie after cooking, grease and line a 20cm x 20cm (8 x 8 inches) baking tin with baking paper.
It's important to cook the brownies just until the top is flaky and the centre of the brownies are cooked through when tested with a skewer inserted in the middle. The skewer will come out with a smear of brownie on it when it's cooked. Over-baking the brownies will take away their fudginess!
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Do not store brownies in the fridge as they will dry out.
Brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before consuming.
