Brownies are popular so here is your " COCOA BROWNIES " to make :)


 
 Brownies are popular in every bakery shop...I don't know why but my understanding is they are easy to make and make you keep eating more as many as you can lol... I don't want to intend to make you all fat guys but this is your limitations not mine. I just love to make them and eat too...so here is my additional recipes from my Brownies selection after we had those luscious fudgy fudge brownies :) So, ENJOY!!!
Mix Method:

10 tablespoons (140 grams) unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups (250 grams) granulated white sugar
3/4 cup (75 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch processed
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream (full or reduced fat)
1/2 cup (85 grams) semi sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instruction to make:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and place the oven rack in the center of the oven. Line the bottom and sides of an 8 inch (20 cm) square pan with aluminum foil. (The aluminum foil should hang about two inches (5 cm) over the sides of the pan to make it easy to lift the brownies from the pan.)
  2. In a small saucepan melt the butter (can also melt the butter in the microwave). Remove from heat and pour into a large heatproof bowl. Stir (or whisk) in the sugar and cocoa powder. Whisk in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing until the batter is nice and shiny.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold this flour mixture into the batter. Finally, fold in the sour cream and chocolate chips.
  4. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 28 - 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center has moist crumbs clinging to it. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Then, to make the brownies easier to cut, cover and place in the refrigerator for two hours or until firm. When ready to cut the brownies, lift the aluminum foil out of the pan and, with a sharp knife, cut the brownies.
Makes 16 brownies.
