  3. In a separate bowl beat the eggs with the vanilla seeds / extract. Add this mixture to the chocolate, a little at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift in the flour, cocoa and fold together. Finally add the chocolate chunks, distributing as evenly as possible.

Remove from the heat and add the butter, mixing until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature before spreading over the brownie sponge.    Cut into squares and serve with some freshly whipped vanilla cream.
