Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 20cm (base measurement) square cake pan and line the base and sides with baking paper, allowing the sides to overhang. Combine the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until the mixture is smooth. Set aside for 5 mins to cool slightly.
Step 2
Add the sugar and stir to combine. Stir in the eggs until well combined. Add the flour, cocoa powder and sour cream and stir to combine.
Step 3
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
Step 4
Bake for 30-35 mins or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Set aside in the pan to cool completely.
Step 5
To make the matcha buttercream, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and cream cheese in a bowl until pale and creamy. Add the icing sugar, milk, matcha powder and vanilla and beat to combine.
Step 6
Spread the buttercream over the brownie and sprinkle with pistachio. Cut into pieces to serve.
