Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30-35 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:

- 3 large eggs
- 250 g granulated sugar
- 150 ml sunflower oil (or coconut oil for an exotic taste)
- 200 ml milk (you can also use plant-based milk for a vegan option)
- 200 g plum jam (or any preferred jam, such as apricot or raspberry)
- 250 g flour
- 50 g high-quality cocoa powder
- 1 packet baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- 100 g dark chocolate (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

1. Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens). Prepare a baking tray (approximately 20x30 cm) and line it with parchment paper to prevent the brownie from sticking.

2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar using a whisk or mixer. Mix until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. This will contribute to the fluffy texture of the brownie.

3. Add the oil and milk, continuing to mix. It’s normal for the mixture to be more fluid; this is an essential step to achieve a moist brownie. Incorporate the plum jam, which will add a sweet and tangy flavor and a delicious aroma.

4. In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. These dry ingredients need to be well mixed to avoid lumps.

5. Start to fold the dry mixture into the wet one carefully, mixing gently to avoid losing the air incorporated. If you choose to use dark chocolate, melt it and add it at this point for an intense chocolate flavor.

6. Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and level the surface with a spatula. Bake the brownie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It’s important not to overbake it to keep that specific moisture.

7. Once the brownie is baked, let it cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving suggestions:
Cut the brownie into squares and serve it plain or dusted with powdered sugar. You can pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delicious contrast. You can also decorate it with nuts or roasted peanuts for added texture.

Variations:
For a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar or use more tart fruit jam. Experiment with different types of jam or even add pieces of fresh fruit, such as raspberries or strawberries, to the batter. This brownie is very versatile and can be adapted to your tastes!
