Description
Rich, fudgy brownies with a gooey chocolate Cadbury egg filling that melts in your mouth. Perfect for celebrations, potlucks, or a comforting treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 Cadbury Mini Eggs, unwrapped and roughly chopped
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper with overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until batter is glossy and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and salt to prevent lumps.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture gently with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chopped Cadbury eggs, reserving a few pieces to sprinkle on top if desired.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle reserved Cadbury pieces on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes. Check at 30 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool completely on a wire rack for about an hour to set the gooey filling.
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired, slice into squares, and serve.
Notes
Do not overbake to preserve the gooey center. Use chunky chopped Cadbury eggs for best molten pockets. Let brownies cool completely on a wire rack to avoid sogginess. Room temperature eggs help avoid curdling. For vegan version, use flax eggs and dairy-free butter and chocolate. For gluten-free, substitute almond flour or gluten-free baking blend.
