I'm not really much of a fan of brownies and such, but I thought this looked good, so I gave it a shot. Brownies will never be my favorite, but as brownies go, this is a really nice one. It's soft and gooey, and the peanuts add a really nice texture and flavor.

| Chocolate brownie with peanuts |
Ingredients
250g Butter
5,5 dl Sugar
90g Cocoa powder
2,35 dl Flour
½ tsp Baking powder
5 Eggs
2½ dl Roasted and salted peanuts
2½ dl Dark chocolate (70%)

| Ingredients |
Tip: If you are using an electric whisk, use a rather low speed or the batter will splash.
Melt the butter, and add to a bowl along with the sugar. Whisk until mixed together, it will be quite "loose". Add the cocoa powder, while whisking. Then add the eggs, one at a time, while whisking. It's at this time the batter will start to thicken. Mix the flour and baking powder together, and sift into the batter. Whisk until smooth.
Roughly chop the peanuts and chocolate, add to the batter, and mix through.
Now, the baking time will vary depending on the size of the mold that you use to bake the cake in. I'm using a round mold with a diameter of 24cm.
Line the mold with baking tray paper and pour the batter into it. Bake in the middle of the oven, at 165°C, for about 50 minutes. The sides of the cake should have firmed up a bit, but the middle should still be soft.
Let it cool a little, but this cake is best served when still warm, preferable with a scoop of ice cream or similar.
