Vegemite Chocolate Brownies

As incongruous as Vegemite and chocolate sounds, the salty and sweet combination is nothing new. Just as salt does (and soy sauce, as I use in a brownie recipe in my book To Asia, With Love), the intense, slightly bitter umami of Vegemite makes chocolate richer, bolder. If you don’t happen to have any Vegemite on hand, you can use Marmite instead, or just add a big pinch of sea salt flakes.

Vegemite chocolate brownies

Serves 12 squares

Ingredients

  • 200 g dark chocolate chopped (or use dark choc buttons)
  • 175 g butter melted
  • 1 ½ tbsp vegemite or 2 tsp sea salt flakes
  • 300 g cane sugar
  • 130 g plain flour
  • 3 eggs
  • Icing sugar to dust

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 170˚C (325˚F). Grease a 20 x 30 cm (9 inches x 12inches) shallow baking tray and line with baking paper.
  • In a large stainless steel bowl (which is completely dry and clean), add the chocolate and butter and place over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water). Leave until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and slowly stir the vegemite into the chocolate until mixed well.
  • Add the sugar and stir to combine. Add the flour and stir again. Finally, stir in the eggs and mix until thick and smooth.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and bake for 30-35 minutes. I like my brownies quite fudgey so I like to bake for around 30 minutes. If you like your brownies more cakey, leave in for a bit longer. Ideally, you want the centre to still be soft and the edges not too hard and crunchy. Leave to cool completely (I like to leave it in the fridge overnight which makes it easier to handle) and cut into 12-15 squares (depending on how big you like them). Serve dusted with icing sugar.
