RICH DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES



Rich Double Chocolate Brownies image

I've been hunting for a GREAT homemade brownie recipe forever. I wanted dense, fudgy brownies that used ingredients I always have around the house. Finally, I broke down and created one. I combined a couple of the recipes that were best, and added my own creative tweaks, and the results were absolutely delicious!

Time 35m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup melted butter
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup quality cocoa powder
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9X9 inch cake pan. Other sized cake pan can be substituted, but a larger pan will result in thinner brownies, so reduce the heat to 325.
  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in sugars, cocoa powder, eggs and vanilla. Once fully incorporated, add salt, flour and baking powder. Mix. Last, add chocolate chips and nuts (if desired).
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into center comes out almost clean. Top should be crusty, and sides should be separated from the pan.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus 1 1/2 teaspoons for buttering the baking dish
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, plus 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish with 1 teaspoon butter. Cut a piece of parchment paper in a strip to line the bottom and 2 sides of the dish. Butter the paper with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter and set aside.
  • Place the unsweetened chocolate and 8 tablespoons butter in a medium heat-proof bowl that fits comfortably over a saucepan filled with 1 inch water. Place the double-boiler over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula, until the chocolate and butter are just barely melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to stir for 1 minute to cool slightly. The mixture should be warm to the touch, not hot.
  • Using a hand-held mixer, beat the sugar, vanilla and salt into the chocolate mixture until smooth. Add the eggs and yolk all at once and beat until fully incorporated and smooth. Fold in the flour and semisweet chocolate chips with a silicone spatula until just barely combined; a few streaks are fine. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake on the middle rack until just set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Do not overbake. Allow to cool to room temperature before cutting into 16 small pieces.

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert     Kid-Friendly     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield 15-18 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for pan, if needed
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate (about 70 percent), chopped
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
6 large eggs, at room temperature
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/4 cups cake flour
Special Equipment:
A 13x9" baking pan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 13x9" baking pan with room temperature butter or nonstick cooking spray, line the bottom with parchment, leaving a generous overhang on both long sides, and grease parchment with room temperature butter or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine 1 1/2 cups butter, chocolate, and cocoa powder in a large heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring often, until mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Whip eggs, sugar, and salt in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or using a hand mixer) on high speed, until tripled in size and lightened in color, 4-5 minutes. When you lift the whisk, the mixture should fall back on itself in thick ribbons and dissipate.
  • Add one-third egg mixture to reserved chocolate mixture and stir to combine with a spatula. Fold in remaining egg mixture in 2 batches. Sift in flour in three parts, gently folding with spatula after each addition. Pour evenly into prepared pan. Smooth top of batter with spatula.
  • Bake brownies, rotating in oven halfway through, until sides are visibly baked and center is set, 50-55 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. After brownies have cooled, loosen edges with an offset spatula or a butter knife, then pull up both sides of the parchment to remove brownies from pan. Place brownies on parchment on a cutting board and cut into 15-18 pieces.

Time 50m

Yield 24 cupcakes, 12-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

18 1/3 ounces fudge brownie mix
2 eggs
4 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, For Glaze
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, For Glaze
1/4 cup milk, For Glaze
2 cups confectioners' sugar, For glaze

  • FOR BROWNIE CUPCAKE: Preheat oven to 350 Pour box mix into large bowl, set aside. In separate bowl add eggs, oil, melted butter and milk. Stir to combine. Add mixture into bowl with brownie mix and stir until smooth. Take out cupcake pan and coat with a non-stick spray. Scoop 2 tbs. of mixture into each section then place into oven for about 20 minute
  • FOR CHOCOLATE GLAZE: While the brownies cook you should start on the glaze. Melt butter in medium sauce pan on low heat. While that melts in a small bowl add milk with the cocoa powder, stir & set aside. Once the butter is melted add your cocoa powder/milk mixture. Stir out clumps as the glaze thickens (Note: Watch carefully, it could burn!) Bring the liquid to a boil Add in the confectioners sugar while glaze is still hot to reduce clumping. Mix briskly or you'll have chunks Makes about 2 cups of glaze which is enough to cover 24 cupcakes if done right. If your glaze isn't smooth or has clumps of confectioners sugar, place it back on the burner at medium heat for just a few more minutes. Be sure to stir the the glaze the whole time.
  • FOR GLAZED CHOCOLATE BROWNIE CUPCAKES: Once the brownies are done, remove from pan onto a plate and place into the freezer for quicker cooling. If your glaze has been done for a little while you should re-heat it so its warm. After about 10 minutes check your brownies (they should be cool now.) Now take your warm glaze and thoroughly drizzle each cupcake. Serve still drippy or wait about 15 minutes for glaze to harden up .For best results take a tablespoon or so of glaze and pour right on top. If its warm enough it should trickle along the sides of the cupcake, covering the whole thing. Add more if necessary.

Tips and Tricks: Baking Perfect Double Chocolate Brownie Cupcakes

  • Measure Ingredients Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients, especially for dry ones like flour, cocoa powder, and sugar. This ensures precise measurements for consistent results.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This helps them combine more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a batter with a velvety texture.
  • Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients Separately: First, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt) in a separate bowl. Then, in another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Do Not Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. A few lumps are okay.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Preheat the oven to the specified temperature and bake the cupcakes for the recommended time. Do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the cupcakes to fall.
  • Use a Muffin Pan: Line a muffin pan with paper liners or grease and flour the cups to prevent sticking.
  • Fill the Cups Properly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with batter. This allows room for the cupcakes to rise and prevents overflowing.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are done baking. If there's still batter or crumbs attached, bake for a few more minutes.
  • Let Them Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Frosting and Decorations: Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, you can frost them with your favorite frosting. You can also decorate them with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or nuts.

Conclusion: A Rich and Decadent Treat

These double chocolate brownie cupcakes are a delightful combination of fudgy brownie batter and a rich chocolate frosting. With careful attention to detail and precise measurements, you can create a batch of perfectly moist, flavorful cupcakes that will satisfy your sweet tooth and impress your friends and family. Remember, the key to success is to follow the recipe closely, use quality ingredients, and take pride in the baking process. Enjoy the delicious results!
