Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 10x10cm square tin with parchment, leaving an overhang on two sides.
2
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt together into a small bowl.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until combined, then beat in the egg and vanilla extract until glossy.
4
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until no streaks remain, then spread the batter into the prepared tin.
5
Bake for 16-18 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs; cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
6
Whisk the evaporated milk, condensed milk and whole milk together, then poke the warm brownie base all over with a skewer.
7
Slowly pour the milk mixture over the warm base, letting it soak in fully; chill in the tin for at least 45 minutes.
8
Lift the soaked brownie out using the parchment overhang and cut into 1 square.
9
Dollop the whipped heavy cream over the top and dust with a pinch of ground cinnamon just before serving.
