Ingredients for Brownie
*For the base:*
- 4 eggs
- 200 g sugar
- 100 g butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 100 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa is ideal)
- 100 g flour
- 100 g chopped walnuts (various options available: walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds)
- 1 packet baking powder
- a pinch of salt
- coffee essence (optional but recommended to enhance flavor)

*For the glaze:*
- 25 g sweet chocolate
- 20 g butter
- 1 teaspoon of oil

*For decoration:*
- White chocolate chips (or you can use dried fruits for a fruity touch)
- A little oil for greasing the pan

Preparation Technique
1. Preparing the Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. Make sure the chocolate is of good quality, as this will influence the final taste of the cake. If you desire a more intense flavor, you can opt for chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage.

2. Melting the Chocolate: In a pot, add the chopped chocolate, butter, and oil. Place the pot on the stove over low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spatula until the ingredients melt and blend together. Make sure not to let them boil, just melt. Once melted, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. Preparing the Base: In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt using a whisk. Mix well until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. Add the melted chocolate, stirring continuously to avoid cooking the eggs. Gradually incorporate the flour mixed with the baking powder. Ensure there are no lumps.

4. Adding the Walnuts and Flavors: Add the coffee essence and chopped walnuts, gently mixing to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.

5. Preparing the Pot: Grease the multicooker pot with a little oil to prevent the cake from sticking. Pour the base mixture into the pot and level the surface with a spatula.

6. Baking in the Multicooker: Press the MENU button and select the BAKE program. Adjust the temperature to 180 degrees Celsius and set the baking time to 45 minutes. Press START and close the lid.

7. Cooling the Cake: Once the time is up, the multicooker will switch to KEEP WARM mode. Unplug it from the power source and lift the button on top to allow the cake to cool slowly. This step is crucial to avoid cracking the layers. Leave the cake in the pot for a few minutes after lifting the lid. Then, remove the pot and let the cake cool completely before turning it out onto a plate.

8. Preparing the Glaze: For the glaze, combine the sweet chocolate, butter, and oil in another pot over low heat. Stir constantly until the ingredients melt and blend together.

9. Decorating the Cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, pour the glaze evenly over its surface. Decorate with white chocolate chips. This will not only look good but will also add a delicious crunchy texture.

Serving and Suggestions
Brownies are perfect alongside a fragrant morning coffee or a relaxing tea. They can be served plain or with vanilla ice cream for a refreshing touch. Additionally, a slice of brownie can be paired with a berry sauce or caramel glaze for an even more decadent dessert.

Nutritional Benefits
This cake provides a source of antioxidants from dark chocolate, which can contribute to better cardiovascular health. Walnuts are rich in protein and essential fatty acids, making brownies a more nutritious choice compared to other desserts.

Frequently Asked Questions
- *Can I use other types of nuts?* Absolutely! Almonds, hazelnuts, or even cashews can add an interesting texture.
- *How can I make the brownie less sweet?* You can reduce the amount of sugar or use chocolate with a higher cocoa content.
- *How long can it be stored?* The brownie keeps well in the fridge for 3-4 days, but it is best in the first 2 days.

Possible Variations
- *Orange Brownie*: Add grated orange zest for a fresh flavor.
- *Cocoa Brownie*: Replace part of the flour with cocoa for a more intense chocolate flavor.
