Quickie brownies

I'm going away on a conference in about the week, so tomorrow's going to be my last OUCKC session for the year, so I thought I'd bake something and bring it along. This is essentially this brownie recipe that I did last year with less faff. And apparently some clubmembers are mildly (not deathly) allergic to nuts, so I'm doing half with nuts and half without.

Quickie Brownies
Ingredients

• 110g Chocolate
• 110g Butter
• 110g Plain flour
• 1/2 tsp Baking powder
• 210g Caster sugar
• 2 Eggs, beaten
• A decent slug* Vanilla extract
• A few handfuls** Chocolate chips
• A handful Almonds
  
• A decent slug Almond extract

Method

1. Melt the chocolate and the butter in a double boiler.
2. Remove from the heat and sift in the flour, sugar and baking powder.
3. Once cool enough, beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
4. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour half of the mixture into a greased sandwich cake tin.
5. Add the almonds and almond extract to the remainder and pour into a greased sandwich cake tin.
   
6. Bake at 180C/Gas Mark 4 for ~25 mins.
7. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin.

Ready for the oven (end of step 5). The nuts are the white bits in the one on the right.Just out of the oven.I've never had this happen to me before... I'm getting the impression that I didn't grease the sides of the tin quite well enough! The other one released from the tin really rather easily. Oh well, it's not going to affect the taste at least.*Yes, that is a standard unit of measurement when I'm baking.
**And so is that.
