Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Grease a 26x15x5cm baking tray with butter and line with baking paper.
Set a large heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, add the butter and chocolate and leave to melt. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugars, followed by the eggs.
Sift over the flour and cocoa powder, then fold it into the chocolate mixture until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and drizzle over the tahini. Using a teaspoon, swirl the tahini over the batter creating a marbled effect. Sprinkle over the sea salt.
Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 25 mins until lightly risen with a crust around the edges and a gentle wobble in the middle. Leave to cool fully, then cut into 24 squares.
