CAKE MIX BROWNIES



Cake Mix Brownies image

These cake mix brownies are a mashup of two of my favorite desserts. A woman I worked with gave me a recipe for chocolate caramel brownies, and I have a recipe for yellow cake mix bars. I wondered what they would taste like together, so I tried it-and I've been making them ever since! -Staci Mergenthal, Verdi, Minnesota

Categories     dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup rainbow candy-coated chocolate chips, such as Wilton Rainbow Chip Crunch Sprinkles

Steps:

  • For the brownie cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
  • Melt the semisweet chocolate chips and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, about 5 minutes. Off the heat, whisk in both sugars; cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla until smooth. Stir in the flour and salt until just smooth and combined (do not overmix).
  • Add the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly with an offset or rubber spatula. Bake until the top is glossy and a toothpick inserted into the center comes comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached, about 50 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
  • For the ganache and decorating: Put the semisweet chocolate chips and cream in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Pour the ganache over the cooled brownie and spread into an even, smooth layer. Sprinkle immediately with the candy-coated chips. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the outer ring to unmold the cake. Cut into slices and serve.
