Step 1:

You will also need:

Step 2:

Preheat your oven to 360 Fahrenheit. Put some baking paper on the bottom of the baking dish and grease the sides.

Step 3:

Fill about 1.5cm (1 inch) of water into the bigger pot and put on oven. Put small pot in big pot. Put butter and chocolate in small pot.

Step 4:

Heat until butter and chocolate start to melt.

Step 5:

Stir from time to time and add the sugar, not all of it at once, though, and keep stirring.

Step 6:

As the small pot can't get hotter than 210 degrees F there shouldn't be a problem with scorching

Step 7:

When everthing has molten it should have approximately this consistency.

Step 8:

Take off the heat and let cool for a minute. In the meantime, take your trusty whisk...

Step 9:

..and whisk the eggs. Add the eggs and the vanilla sugar to the chocolate.

Step 10:

..and mix until everything has been mixed nicely.

Step 11:

Almost done! Add the flour and make sure, that everything is mixed thoroughly again!

Step 12:

Pour into baking dish and put in the oven.

Step 13:

The brownies will take about 35min until nice and done.

Step 14:

Check on your brownie from time to time, some ovens are faster than others!

Step 15:

An easy trick is to test with a toothpick to see if it is ready or not. Stick the toothpick in and pull it out. If no dough stays on the pick, the cake is done.

Step 16:

It's important to let the brownies cool before you put the strawberry jam on top. This is, to prevent the jelly and strawberry juice from diffusing into your brownies and making them all mushy and gross, so, jam goes on top...

...then cut the strawberries in two and put them on top, too.

Step 17:

Prepare the jelly as stated on the packet. For mine you just add water and a little bit of sugar and heat until it gets thicker. Now, just pour it over the strawberries.

Step 18:

Just put the brownies in the fridge for 1-2hours and then you are ready to eat.
