Method 
  1. Preheat oven 200C/180C fan/gas 6

  3. Beat 3 eggs, 225 g light brown sugar or caster sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until pale and fluffy for 2-3 minutes. 
  4. Add chocolate mixture once cooled to the egg and sugar mixture and combine. 5. Fold in 100 g of self-raising flour carefully with a large spoon until all is well combined. 
  5. Add 75 g chopped hazelnuts and 75 g chocolate chips and combine. 
  6. Line a 20cm square tin with baking paper and pour the mixture in, and place in a preheated oven 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 19-20 minutes.
