DARK CHOCOLATE BROWNIE

                                       

This is one brownie that I’ve made umpteen number of times. I’ve made it for dinners at my place, for gifting to friends and relatives, for my brothers on rakshabandhan, I’ve actually lost count of the number of times I’ve made it. This recipe has not failed me even once and whoever tastes it surely asks for it recipe. For my family this is the perfect gooey brownie.

So now that you all have the recipe, bake it and treat yourself and your family to this GOOEY DARK CHOCOLATEY SINFUL BROWNIE :)

INGREDIENTS

All purpose flour (maida)  1 cup /125 gms

Sugar   2/3 cup /150 gms

Butter 2 table spoons less than 1 cup /200 gms

Dark chocolate  200gms

Eggs  3

Vanilla essence  1 teaspoon

Walnuts  ¼ cup

This is the dark chocolate that I've used here.

METHOD

      1.       Grease a baking tin and keep aside.

2.       Beat the eggs and sugar together nicely. Add vanilla essence to it.

3.       Melt the chocolate and butter together and let it cool.

4.       When the chocolate butter mixture is completely cool. Add it to the egg and sugar mixture and mix.

5.       Add the flour and mix it with a spatula.

6.       Dust the walnuts with flour and add them to the batter. Leave some walnuts to sprinkle on the top.

7.       Preheat the oven at 180 degrees.

8.       Pour the prepared batter in the greased cake tin and bake it in a preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Baking time differs in every oven so have a look after 30 minutes, if not done put it again for 5 minutes and bake till the skewer comes out clean.

9.       Let it cool down for 10 minutes. Remove from the cake tin and let it cool down completely.

10.   Serve it warm with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.

NOTES

1.       Baking tin has to be greased nicely by applying oil and then dusting nicely with flour. If making the first time use parchment paper at the base of the tin, parchment paper will make it easier to remove from the tin.

2.       Dusting the walnuts is done to prevent them from sinking at the bottom. Just sprinkle a little bit of flour on them and mix so that it covers them completely.

3.       Every oven has different temperature settings and hence baking time is different in each oven.

4.       Do not open the oven before 30 minutes thereafter keep checking it till the skewer comes out clean.
