Dulce de leche

- In a bowl of a freestanding mixer with a paddle attachment, add the oil, butter, eggs, vanilla and caster sugar and mix on low speed for 3 minutes. It is important to keep the speed low to avoid incorporating any air.
- Sieve the gluten free flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt together to combine.
- Add the flour mix and chocolate to the bowl of the freestanding mixer and combine on a low speed for 2 minutes, or until evenly combined.
- Pour half of the mixture into the lined baking tray and level with a palette knife.
- Dot 150 g of dulce de leche over the base, mix with a spoon, then pour over the remaining chocolate batter and smooth with a palette knife.
- Place the brownie on shelf position 2 and bake for 25–28 minutes, depending on how soft you want the centre.
- Allow to cool on a rack before cutting into the desired shape for serving.
