1
On the day before you bake, put the California Raisins in a bowl with 2tbsp of cola (grown-ups can use dark rum instead if they prefer!). Cover the bowl with a lid or a plate and leave overnight (8+ hours ideally) for the magic to happen. The raisins will become plump and sticky!
2
Sieve flour and cocoa powder into a mixing bowl.
3
Add sugar and salt and stir to combine into one dry mixture.
4
Add water, oil and vanilla, and mix into a thick and glossy chocolatey batter.
5
Tumble in the soaked California Raisins and stir to distribute them evenly.
6
Spread the brownie batter into your prepared tin and bake for 20-25 minutes. Allow the brownies to cool completely in their tin before removing, cutting into generous slices, and enjoying with your afternoon tea!
