I am a dessert crazy person. Even
if everybody is totally full or it’s already too late and we need to get back
to office or nobody feels like dessert, I feel like dessert, always. I crave
something sweet after every meal. Having these brownies in the fridge, calms my
nerves. I know I have a sweet ending waiting.
I used Hershey’s chocolate brownie and frosting recipe.
Prep time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 30 minsServes: 16 squares
Ingredients
Butter – 1/2 cupAll purpose flour/Maida – 1/2 cup
Cocoa powder – 1/3 cup
Baking powder – 1/4 tsp
Sugar – 1 cup
Eggs - 2
Vanilla – 1 tsp
Salt – 1/4
Chocolate Frosting
Butter – 3 tbspCocoa – 3 tbsp
Icing sugar/Confectioner’s sugar – 1 cup
Honey – 1 tbsp
Milk – 3 tbsp (adjust as per your desired consistency)
Method
1. Grease
and line a 9” square or rectangular pan.
2. Sift
together flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder twice and set aside.
3. Melt
butter in a medium bowl. Add sugar and vanilla to the melted butter and beat for
about 2-3 minutes till it resembles wet sand.
4. Add
eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition till the eggs are
incorporated and the mixture is pale yellow.
5. Add
the flour mixture and beat just till all the flour is incorporated.
6. Tip
the batter into the pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
7. Bake
25-30 minutes or till a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with just
a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely before frosting or cutting into
squares. While cutting, have a bowl of hot water handy to dip your knife into.
This helps make cleaner cuts with fewer crumbs.
8. For
the frosting, beat butter, cocoa, vanilla and honey in a small bowl till well
blended. Add sugar and 1-2 tbsp milk and beat for 4-5 minutes till the frosting
is smooth and is your desired spreading consistency. Add extra milk if
necessary but in small increments.
9. Spread
the frosting on the cooled brownies. Serve as is or with a glass of milk or topped
with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
