Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 24 x 20cm brownie tin with baking parchment. Put the butter, dark chocolate and orange zest in a non-stick saucepan and very gently melt over a low heat, stirring every now and then, until smooth - take care not to overheat it. Cool.
- 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.

Tips:
- To create a smooth and velvety texture, ensure that the butter and chocolate are melted together gently and evenly, avoiding overheating.
- Use good quality chocolate for a richer, more intense flavor. Dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is recommended.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough, dense brownie. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a fudgier brownie, use more butter and less flour. For a cakier brownie, use less butter and more flour.
- Baking time may vary depending on the size and shape of your baking pan, so adjust accordingly. A toothpick inserted into the center of the brownie should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting and serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
