BEST COCOA BROWNIES



Best Cocoa Brownies image

Cocoa brownies have the softest center and chewiest candylike top "crust" of all because all of the fat in the recipe (except for a small amount of cocoa butter in the cocoa) is butter, and all of the sugar is granulated sugar rather than the finely milled sugar used in chocolate. Use the best cocoa you know for these fabulous brownies.

Yield Makes 16 large or 25 smaller brownies

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cold large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup walnut or pecan pieces (optional)
Special Equipment
An 8-inch square baking pan

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom and sides of the baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
  • Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set the bowl in a wide skillet of barely simmering water. Stir from time to time until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot enough that you want to remove your finger fairly quickly after dipping it in to test. Remove the bowl from the skillet and set aside briefly until the mixture is only warm, not hot.
  • Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one. When the batter looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add the flour and stir until you cannot see it any longer, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes with the wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Stir in the nuts, if using. Spread evenly in the lined pan.
  • Bake until a toothpick plunged into the center emerges slightly moist with batter, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.
  • Lift up the ends of the parchment or foil liner, and transfer the brownies to a cutting board. Cut into 16 or 25 squares.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder: The quality of your cocoa powder will greatly impact the flavor of your brownies. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "natural" or "unsweetened."
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough, chewy brownies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the brownies will dry them out.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • Serve the brownies with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include powdered sugar, ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup.

Conclusion:

These old-fashioned cocoa brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that everyone will love. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special celebration. With their rich chocolate flavor and chewy texture, these brownies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
