Preparation

Medium

Place the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat to 350ºF. Grease and flour a rectangular pan about 30 x 20 cm. Put the 120 g of chocolate and butter to melt over low heat. Remove from heat and set aside. In a bowl, beat the eggs and add sugar, whisk vigorously. Add the melted chocolate, vanilla, and salt. Add the sifted flour with cocoa and 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts. Pour the mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack; if any part of the brownie has risen more, we can level it by pressing down slightly with a spatula. After 20 minutes, spread the cajeta evenly over the surface and refrigerate for 30 minutes. For decoration: melt the dark chocolate with the teaspoon of cream over very low heat, and when it melts, put it in a Zip lock bag, seal it, cut a corner to use as a piping bag, and decorate over the cajeta, making thin stripes; then sprinkle the chopped walnuts. Cut into squares and serve cold or at room temperature.
