Olive Oil Brownies

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup mature, fruit-flavored olive oil, plus extra for greasing the pan
• 1.5 cups premium flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp fine salt
• 110 g bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 4 large eggs, lightly beaten

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 23 x 33 cm baking dish with foil, leaving an extra 5 cm of foil on at least two sides. Grease the foil (except for the overhanging edges).
   
   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Melt the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Let cool slightly. Stir in the sugar and eggs. Add the flour mixture and mix well.
2. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean and comes out clean.
   
   Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack without removing it from the pan. Remove the cake by lifting it using the overhanging edges of the foil. Cut into 16 squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
