Killer Brownie Recipe

Posted by Special Correspondent : Madame de Coquenard

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

7 oz white sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 350F.

Line 8x8 pan with parchment paper, and lightly grease with oil.

In a microwave, melt 1/2 cup butter.

Pour in a large bowl, and stir in sugar, eggs, and 1tsp vanilla extract.

Beat in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder.

Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.

Do not over cook.

Notes:

- I would cut down the sugar. If you want the chocolate to stand out even more.

Maybe 5 oz (2/3 cups).

- It's quite fudgy, but if you want fudgier, decrease the flour. Increase flour for cakeyer.

- I added 1/2cup semisweet callebaut chocolate chips. Stir in right before putting batter into pan. It will melt when baked, but after brownie cools, it will turn crunchy.

- Check after 25 minutes; stick a toothpick in. I took it out at 28 minutes, where end of toothpick was still slightly moist. - Cool completely before cutting.
