  • Stir just to combine and remove the bowl from the heat.
  • Add the orange juice, the brandy or rum and the grated zest of 2 oranges.

  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients.
  • Stir until all of the ingredients are completely combined.
  • Pour the mixture into a 20x30 cm baking pan that has been lined with parchment paper. 
  • Let the ends of the parchment hang over the sides of the pan to help you remove the brownie easily.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes.
