Brownies

For my first blog, I'm re-posting this simple recipe from my other blog profile (Y360). Hi-hi-hi how unique eh (Notice the recipe book in the photo *lol*)





Ingredients


Chocolate mixture:
150g unsalted butter, chopped
125g dark chocolate, chopped
Egg mixture:
3 eggs
1 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Flour mixture:
1 cup plain flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder

strip almonds

STEPS:

1. Preheat the oven to moderate 180C. Line the base of cake tin with baking paper, extending over the sides.
2. Chocolate mixture: Stir the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl, over a pan of simmering water, until just melted. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
3. Egg mixture: Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla together in a large bowl, with a wire whisk, until well combined.
4. Flour mixture: Sift the flour and cocoa together.
5. Whisk the chocolate mixture into the eggs and stir in the flour and cocoa; do not overbeat. Fold in the almonds.
6. Pour into the cake tin.
7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until slightly risen and just firm to the touch.
8. Cool in the tin (it will sink back down to form a flat surface).




Icing:(optional)

100g dark chocolate, chopped
100g unsalted butter, chopped

Refer to STEP 2 (chocolate mixture) for the icing.
Spread over the baked brownies.
When completely cold, lift out and cut into squares.




Mmmm.. as Rachel Ray say: Yumm-O!
