Orange Brownies image

These are so good!! A nice, refreshing change from the normal chocolate brownies. They've been a hit at potlucks, bake sales, family parties, and at our school restaurant. I prefer to make them using the orange cream cheese buttercream; but the orange glaze is tasty as well. *I got this from one of the Paula Deen newsletters...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 c all purpose flour
2 c granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 c butter, softened
4 large eggs
2 tsp pure orange extract
1 tsp grated orange zest
1 c confectioners' sugar
2 Tbsp orange juice, fresh
1 tsp grated orange zest

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13x9x2 inch pan.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the butter, eggs, extract and 1 tsp zest. Using a handheld electric mixer, beat until well blended. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until light golden brown and set. Remove from the oven and pierce entire cake with a fork (if you are going to make the orange glaze).

  • 4. FOR THE ORANGE CREAM CHEESE BUTTERCREAM: In a large bowl, whip together 1 (8 oz) softened cream cheese and 4 tablespoons softened butter. Gradually beat in 1 lb confectioner's sugar until it's all combined & smooth. Beat in 2 T. orange zest and 2 T. fresh orange juice. Spread over cooled brownies. Cut into squares.

I love the glaze on these brownies. It gives them a nice shiny finish and it's not too sweet.

I made these brownies in a 9x13 inch pan and they were perfect. They didn't take too long to bake and they came out perfectly cooked.

I added some chopped walnuts to the batter and they turned out great. I think you could add other nuts or dried fruit as well.

I was a bit skeptical about the orange flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's not overpowering, and it really complements the chocolate.

These brownies are amazing! They're moist, fudgy, and have the perfect amount of orange flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
