Ingredients

  • 120g good dark chocolate
  • 90g butter
  • 2 egg
  • 200g sugar
  • 25g lavender flowers (dried)
  • 90g flour (all purpose)
  • 50g almonds (whole, coarsely chopped)

Directions

 
Heat the oven to 180C. Grease a brownie tin or baking tin lightly with oil and cover with aluminiumfoil (also grease this lightly).
 
Melt the chocolate with the butter au bain marie and once all incorporated and smooth, leave to cool off.
 
Put the lavender and some of the sugar in a pestle and mortar and grind together.
 
Add the briefly whipped eggs, sugar mixture and flour to the chocolate mixture. Mix everything together well but don't overmix it. Once there are no dry spots stop mixing. Put the batter in the tin and bake for about 30 minutes in the hot oven.
Leave to cool in the tin before taking it out and onto a cake rack to cool further

Note

Not your average flavor but once you get used to the taste after the first bite... you're gonna love it!
