Ingredients

• 100 g Raisins
• 60 ml Dark rum
• 150 g Unsalted butter
• 200 g Dark chocolate
• 200 g Granulated sugar
• 50 g Brown sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 120 g All-purpose flour
• 30 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the raisins and dark rum. Let them soak for 30 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally to ensure the raisins are evenly soaked.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 3

In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Melt them together over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until light and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Gradually pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until well combined.

Step 6

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being cautious not to overmix.

Step 7

Drain the soaked raisins, reserving 1 tablespoon of rum. Fold the raisins and the reserved tablespoon of rum into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for a fudgy texture.

Step 10

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
