Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 50 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients:
- 2 fresh eggs
- 2 cups of sugar
- 4 cups of flour
- 1 cup of oil (preferably sunflower or light olive oil)
- 2 cups of milk (dairy or alternative)
- 6 tablespoons of high-quality cocoa (for an intense flavor)
- 2 tablespoons of baking soda
- 6 tablespoons of plum jam (preferably a tangy one)
- 100 g of white chocolate, broken into small pieces (for a delicious contrast)

Preparation:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for better emulsification. It is also advisable to use a quality plum jam that brings an intense and aromatic flavor.

2. Beat the eggs: In a large bowl, add the eggs and a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer to beat them at medium speed until they become a creamy, fluffy white mixture. This step is essential to introduce air into the batter, making the brownie fluffier.

3. Add sugar and oil: Continuing to mix, gradually incorporate the sugar. Once fully dissolved, start adding the oil in a thin stream while constantly mixing. This will create a moist and rich base.

4. Incorporate the milk: Add the milk, also in a thin stream, to maintain the liquid consistency of the mixture. In the end, you should have a fluid and uniform mixture.

5. Add the jam: Now it's time to incorporate the plum jam! Add it to the liquid mixture and blend it with the mixer. The jam will add not only sweetness but also a tangy note that will make this dessert truly special.

6. Mix the dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and cocoa. It is important to combine them well to avoid lumps in the batter.

7. Combine the ingredients: Add the dry ingredient mixture to the liquid mixture, stirring with a spatula or mixing at low speed until everything is well combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep the air in the batter.

8. Add the chocolate: Break the white chocolate into small pieces and add it to the final mixture. This will add a creamy and sweet note to your brownie.

9. Bake the brownie: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture evenly into the pan. Bake the brownie for about 50 minutes. It's good to do the toothpick test – if it comes out clean, the dessert is ready!

10. Cooling and serving: After removing the brownie from the oven, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack. Once cooled, dust it with powdered sugar or coconut for an attractive appearance.

Helpful tips:
- Plum Jam: If you don't have plum jam, you can use any other tangy jam, such as raspberry or cherry jam. This will provide a different but equally delicious flavor.
- Chocolate: You can experiment with other types of chocolate – dark chocolate or milk chocolate will add another flavor profile.
- Variations: For a more exotic note, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla to the batter. These will enrich the brownie’s aroma.
- Serving: Serve the brownie alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of cream for a contrast of textures and flavors.
