♥ Brownie…a true indulgence…♥

Last Thursday, one of my friend was going to DXB. Suddenly I got an idea, I messaged my brother and asked if he need any home cooked food. He replied -“It depends on what you are going to send across”. I was excited. I decided to prepare brownie and beef podi. Then all happened so fast. I had to hand over the food packet by 10 pm. After my work I rushed to super market and got all the ingredients. And I came back home and started preparing. It was tiring for me to do something after my office hours. But it was for my big bro. I enjoy doing it…

I never got a chance to make him eat my fav special dishes. Couple of years back he came down to celebrate Onam with me. That time I made the full course Onam sadya.

I have made brownie couple of times using this recipe. Thanks to Martha. I love this because, i use the chocolate which has 85% cocoa. And sugar is replaced with light brown sugar. So I am happy

I managed to click few snaps as well. Here is the recipe

1. Unsalted butter – 226 gm (basically 1/2 pound), plus more for cake pan
2. Light-brown sugar – 2 and 1/2 cups 
3. Unsweetened chocolate – 170 gms , coarsely chopped
4. Large eggs – 2 fresh in room temperature
5. Pure vanilla extract – 2 tsp
6. All-purpose flour – 2 cups (You can replace 1/4 cup with unsweetened cocoa powder. I did that)
7. Salt – 1/2 tsp

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. 
• Butter a 9-by-13-inch square cake pan. and line it
• Combine butter, brown sugar, and chocolate in a bowl. And double boil to melt the butter sugar and chocolate completely
• Beat the eggs and vanilla in a bowl
• Add this into the melted chocolate and fold well with a wooden spoon. 
• Fold in the flour and salt. 
• Pour this into the prepared pan, and smooth the top.

• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean, 35 to 40 minutes. 

The best part is to lick this spoon ♥♥♥♥

• Let it cool down.
• Turn the brownie cake out onto a baking sheet, and flip over onto a work surface. Unlike cakes, I believe the cracks on top of the baked brownie is just perfect..
