Pecan Cupcakes
1. Heat the oven to 325 F. Grease an 7” x 11” rectangular baking dish and line the base with nonstick baking paper.
2. Put the chocolate and butter in a pan and heat gently, stirring until melted. Allow to cool slightly.
3. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until pale and frothy, then add the sugar, a spoonful at a time, whisking until thick and glossy.
4. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture. Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt and fold in the pecan nuts.
5. Spoon the mixture into the baking dish, level with the back of a spoon and bake for 40 minutes, until the top has a cracked appearance and the center is still a little soft to the touch. Do not overbake, or you will loose the famous sticky brownie texture. Cool in the pan.
6. Cut into slices and sift over a little icing sugar.
