Method

  1. 1

    Line a 15 cm square or round tin with baking paper. Heat the air fryer to 160C.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter and chocolate together in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, or in the microwave in short bursts. Stir until smooth and cool for 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Whisk in the sugar, then the eggs one at a time, and the vanilla, until glossy.

  4. 4

    Sift in the flour, cocoa and salt, and fold in gently until just combined.

  5. 5

    Pour into the tin, level the top, and put the tin in the air fryer basket.

  6. 6

    Cook for 20 to 24 minutes. The top should be set and crackled, with a slight wobble in the middle. A skewer should come out with a few moist crumbs.

  7. 7

    Cool fully in the tin, about 30 minutes, then cut into 6 squares.
