Instructions: Christmas brownie with cinnamon and lemon zest

Boil some water in a pot. Place a glass bowl over the pot (the bowl should not touch the water surface). Place the chocolate and the butter cut into pieces into a bowl and let it melt.
Pick up the bowl and wipe the water that has created under. Add the sugar and stir with a hand whisk.
Add the eggs, one by one, each time stirring with a whisk until they are incorporated.
At this point add the cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, lemon zest and cinnamon. Mix well with a hand whisk.
Add the flour and gently incorporate it into the mixture. Don’t overwork the batter. Line a square baking pan with baking paper, pour the mixture and sprinkle with more cinnamon.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180 °C for 35 – 40 minutes. Take out and let it cool completely before serving.
