This chocoholic's favorite brownie. The recipe was shared with me by an ex-MIL over 25 years ago. Good recipes, unlike marriages, never die.

Time 30m

Yield 1 11x17 pan of brownies, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup water
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 dash salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
4 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup butter
6 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Brownie: Preheat oven to 400°; grease an 11" x 17" jelly roll pan.
  • Mix sugar and flour in a bowl; in a saucepan bring to boil the butter, shortening, water, cocoa and salt; pour cocoa mixture over flour mixture and stir until combined.
  • Beat in buttermilk, baking soda, eggs and vanilla; pour into baking pan and bake for 15 minutes, until center is barely set; DO NOT OVERBAKE; the center of the brownie will be slightly puffed but, if not overbaked, will fall when cool.
  • Frosting: Prepare the frosting while the brownie bakes; in same saucepan, bring to boil the butter, milk and cocoa; remove from heat and stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla; stir until smooth.
  • Pour and spread over the brownie immediately after removing it from the oven; cool and refrigerate.

These brownies were a disappointment. They were dense and chewy, and the frosting was bland. I won't be making these again.

Meh. The brownies were dry and the frosting was too thick. I wouldn't make these again.

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the texture was great. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I've made these brownies several times now and they are always a hit. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. The frosting is the perfect finishing touch.

Delicious! The brownies were moist and flavorful, and the frosting was perfectly sweet and creamy. I would highly recommend this recipe.

These brownies are the perfect combination of fudgy and chewy, and the frosting is a delicious addition. I loved the hint of coffee flavor in the brownies. I will definitely be making these again!
