Ingredients
For the Brownie Batter:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 package Tim Tam biscuits, chopped
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Extra Tim Tam biscuits, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the chopped Tim Tam biscuits, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
While the brownie cake is baking, prepare the chocolate topping by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer.
Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Once the brownie cake is done baking, allow it to cool completely in the pan.
Drizzle the chocolate topping over the cooled cake and sprinkle with additional chopped Tim Tam biscuits for garnish.
Cut into squares and serve, enjoying the rich and delightful flavors of the Tim Tam Brownie Cake.
