• Whisk the eggs and sugar together with an electric whisk until the mixture is pale, has doubled in volume and leaves a trail when the beaters are lifted. Gently stir into the cooled chocolate mixture. Sift over the flour and cocoa, stir in, then add the orange chocolate.
• Pour into the lined tin and bake for 35-40 mins. Cool in the tin, then cut into squares.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE MARMALADE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease with baking spray a brownie pan measuring 9 x 11 inches (or 8 x 8 inches) ,and line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving some paper hanging over the sides for easy lifting later. Set pan aside.
• In a double boiler where the bottom is filled with simmering water, over medium heat, melt the chocolates. When completely melted, remove from the heat and set aside on the counter to cool.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
• Using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together in a large bowl till fluffy.
• Add the eggs, one at a time. Mix for a minute or two.
• Pour the vanilla, the Grand Marnier and cooled melted chocolate. Beat well.
• Using a spatula, fold by hand the dry ingredients into the batter till blended and smooth.
• Pour the brownie batter into the pan. Dot the marmalade on top of the brownie mix. Using a spatula, swirl the mixture so the marmalade gets incorporated in the chocolate. You should have small pockets of orange marmalade around the brownie batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven of 350 F for 30 minutes or till the center is firm when you put a knife through to test if done.
• Remove from the oven and cool the brownie pan on the counter for about 10 minutes. Slice into brownie pieces about 2-inches long each. Then while holding the edges of the parchment paper, lift the brownies and cool on a rack.
• Serve warm or chilled. Store brownies in a covered container in the refrigerator.
• Author's serving suggestions: Top each brownie with whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of ganache.
