Preparation:

  3. Fold the warm chocolate and butter into the whisked eggs and sugar, shift the flour baking powder over the top then fold in. pour the mixture into an 18*28 cm roasting tin lined with non-stick baking paper, and ease into the corners, spoon the rum-soaked raisins over the top.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 1800C, set timer for 30 minutes until well risen, the top is crusty and cracked and the centre is still slightly soft, leave to cool and harden in the tin.
  5. Lift out of the tin using the lining paper, melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water then drizzle over the top of the brownies, leave to harden then cut into 20 pieces, peel off the paper and store in an airtight tin for up to 3 days.
