Method for chocolate brownie hearts!

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / gas mark 6. 
2. Put the butter and the dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water and let everything melt together gently. Remove from the heat and leave it to cool a little.
3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the eggs and both sugars together until thick.
4. Next, add the chocolate mixture to the beaten eggs mixture and fold together. Be gentle so the mixture stays airy.
5. Add the flour and baking powder and fold once more.
6. Pour into the prepared tin. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. You want it to stay quite soft and moist in the middle, so they should be springy to the touch and set on top, but if you insert a skewer into the centre, it should come out sticky.
7. Take out of the oven and cool for a few minutes in the tin before turning out and cutting into hearts with a heart-shaped cutter. This is best done while the brownies are still warm.
