Ruby Chocolate Brown Betty

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20x20cm baking dish and line with parchment paper.

   Tip: Optional: use a non-stick baking dish for easier removal.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Use a digital scale for accurate measurements.

3. 3

   Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   Tip: Don't overmix the dough.

4. 4

   Press half of the dough into the prepared baking dish.

   Tip: Make sure to evenly cover the bottom of the dish.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the ruby chocolate and brown sugar evenly over the dough.

   Tip: Use a spatula to spread the chocolate to an even layer.

6. 6

   Top with the remaining dough and press gently to seal the edges.

   Tip: Use your fingers or a spatula to seal the edges.

7. 7

   Cut a 2.5cm border around the edges of the dough to prevent the streusel from escaping during baking.

   Tip: Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter for clean edges.

8. 8

   Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

   Tip: Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the brownie, 190°C (375°F).

9. 9

   Allow the brownie to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: Don't disturb the brownie while it cools.

10. 10

    Prepare the streusel topping by grinding the almonds in a food processor until coarsely chopped.

    Tip: Use a digital scale for accurate measurements.

11. 11

    In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.

    Tip: Add the ground almonds to the bowl and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly streusel.
