A neighbor brought over a pan of these rich fudge brownies along with the recipe when I came home from the hospital with our baby daughter. I asked her how to make brownie frosting like that, and I've made them ever since for family occasions, potlucks and parties at work. -Sue Soderlund, Elgin, Illinois

FUDGE FROSTED BROWNIES



Fudge Frosted Brownies image

There are a zillion brownie recipes out there. This one remains my favorite after nearly 40 years. Some of us have unsweetened cocoa powder and powdered sugar that have been sitting in the cupboard for a year or more, and with their age, can give baked goods and frosting a flat, cardboard taste. As with all recipes, the quality of ingredients determines the quality of the finished product. *Make sure to use cocoa powder, NOT hot cocoa mix in this recipe.*

Time 45m

Yield 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I like Hershey's)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 1/4 cups sifted powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Grease a 9x9 inch pan and preheat the oven to 350*.
  • Beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
  • Beat in the vanilla, then the eggs one at a time.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and blend into butter mixture.
  • Pour into greased pan and bake ABOUT 30 mins., depending on your oven. *BAKE LESS TIME IF YOU LIKE YOUR BROWNIES FUDGEY AND MORE TIME IF YOU LIKE THEM CAKEY*.
  • While brownies are baking, make the frosting: In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and stir in cocoa powder and milk.
  • Off heat, beat in the sugar.
  • Spread evenly over brownies while they are still warm (not immediately out of the oven).
  • When cool, cut into small squares.
  • The yield depends on how large you cut them.
  • This recipe is easily doubled (bake in a 9x13 pan) and nuts may be added to both the brownies and the frosting.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 c butter
3 Tbsp butter
4 eggs
2 c sugar
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 c baking cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
FOR FROSTING
6 Tbsp butter, softened
2 2/3 c powdered sugar
1/2 c baking cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 to 1/3 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 13 x 9 pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a saucepan, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa. Let it cool.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the egg mixture. Stir in the vanilla and the cooled chocolate mixture. Mix well.
  • 3. Spread the mix into the prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 25-28 minutes.
  • 4. For frosting, in mixing bowl cream all ingredients together. Start with adding a 1/4 cup of milk in and if too thick, add a little more to achieve spreading consistency. Spread over cooled brownies. Yield: 24 brownies

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of around 70% is ideal.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough brownie.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips in the batter.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use espresso powder in the batter.
  • For a nutty flavor, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter.
  • For a chewy brownie, use less flour and more butter.
  • For a cakier brownie, use more flour and less butter.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
