Categories     Desserts

Time 45m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz good-quality chocolate, semi-sweet
12 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ¼ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later.
  • In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color.
  • Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure it's not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture.
  • Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.
  • Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk!
  • Enjoy!

THE BEST FUDGY BROWNIES



The Best Fudgy Brownies image

We've created the perfect brownie by employing a few tips and tricks. Using both semisweet chocolate and cocoa powder gives us the deep and complex chocolate flavor we crave. Cooking the butter until golden brown adds a toasted nuttiness, while the pop of cream provides luscious texture.

Categories     dessert

Time 4h30m

Yield 24 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick baking spray
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (64-percent cacao), chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/4 cups Dutch-process cocoa
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon pure vanilla paste or extract
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
6 large eggs, chilled

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking pan, preferably metal, with nonstick baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the butter is a deep golden color, about 5 minutes; the butter will hiss and spit as the whey evaporates so be careful. As the foam subsides the butter will go from a canary yellow color to golden. When it does, take it off the heat. Add the chocolate and cream to the butter and let it sit, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted.
  • Sift the flour and cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, espresso powder and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high speed until the eggs are pale, very thick and fluffy, about 8 minutes (start your timer when you get to high speed). Do not be tempted to skimp on the mix time; this step is key to getting the signature shiny, crackled brownie top. Reduce the speed to low and slowly pour the warm chocolate into the eggs; beat until completely incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined; do not overmix. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and fold until the batter is completely combined.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the brownies are glossy and just barely firm, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 205 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes. Don't let the thermometer touch the bottom of the pan or you will get a much higher reading. (The cook time will be at the higher end of the range if using a glass or ceramic baking dish.)
  • Let the brownies cool completely to allow the crumb to set before slicing, about 3 hours.
  • Use an offset spatula to loosen the brownies from the sides of the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Remove the parchment and cut into 24 squares.

FUDGY BROWNIE CAKE



Fudgy Brownie Cake image

This cake may look plain, but inside, it's moist, dense, and intensely flavored. In other words, it's a chocolate lover's dream come true. The fact that it takes just 20 minutes of effort is all the icing you need.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 55m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick unsalted butter, cut into large pieces, plus more for pan
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (61 to 70 percent cacao), finely chopped
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 large egg yolk plus 3 large egg whites, room temperature, divided
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-inch springform pan. Melt butter and chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, and whisk in 3/4 cup sugar. Whisk in egg yolk, then cocoa powder and salt.
  • Beat egg whites with a mixer on medium speed until foamy. Raise speed to medium-high, gradually beat in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and beat until soft, glossy peaks form, about 4 minutes.
  • Fold flour into chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula, then fold in egg whites. Pour batter into pan, and bake until set, about 33 minutes. Let cake cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Remove side of pan, and dust top of cake with cocoa powder.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the brownies from sinking in the middle.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking will make the brownies dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies for the amount of time specified in the recipe, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent the brownies from falling apart.

Conclusion:

With their rich, fudgy texture and intense chocolate flavor, brownies are a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can make perfect brownies every time. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give brownies a try!
