Bodacious Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) dark metal pan with softened butter, then line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides. Grease the parchment with softened butter.
• Combine the chopped chocolate, ¼ cup (30 g) of cocoa powder, and espresso powder in a heatproof liquid measuring cup or medium bowl and set aside.
• Add the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the butter just comes to a vigorous simmer, about 5 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Immediately pour the hot butter over the chocolate mixture and let sit for 2 minutes. Whisk until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted, then set aside.
• Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. It will be similar to the texture of very thick pancake batter.
• With the mixer on, pour in the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture and blend until smooth.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C).
• Sift in the flour and remaining cocoa powder and use a rubber spatula to gently fold until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until lightly puffed on top, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the baking pan from the oven using oven mitts or kitchen towels, then lightly drop the pan on a flat surface 1-2 times until the brownies deflate slightly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
• Return the pan to the oven and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the brownies comes out fudgy but the edges look cooked through, about 20 minutes more. The center of the brownies will seem under-baked, but the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
• Set the brownies on a cooling rack and cool completely in the pan.
• Use the parchment paper to lift the cooled brownies out of the pan. Cut into 24 bars and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325. Take foil and line a 13x9 baking pan with foil (large enough to overhang so you can lift out the brownies. Grease the foil.

• 3. Whisk in the sugar. Add eggs one at a time, whisking in thoroughly. Then add flour in three additions, folding in with spatula, until batter is smooth.
• 4. Move batter into the baking pan, even out the surface and sprinkle with the nuts. Bake approx 30-35 min. or until skewer comes out with a few crumbs attached. Cool for two hours before removing with the foil sling and cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, pour brownie mix into bowl. Add vegetable or canola oil (or oil of your choice) to mix. Add water to mix. Add eggs to mix. Stir until mix is thick and consistent.
• Use any size bundt cake pan and use oil to grease pan and use flour to make sure brownies do not stick. When greasing and flouring the bundt cake pan is done, carefully pour mixture into bundt cake pan and smooth it out around the hole in the middle.
• Put into oven and bake around 30 minutes. Test your brownies by using a toothpick and inserting into the mix to see if it is done. It will come out clean if done with little or no residue. Remove from oven. Let it cool.
• When cool, use a plate and please wear a hand mitt to do this, and turn it over to allow it to come out of the Bundt pan and onto the place. Then use your frosting, my favorite is sour cream frosting, and frost the top of your Bundt brownie cake. Make sure to cover the entire top and around the hole in the middle.
• After done frosting, slice your chosen fruit, mine is mandarin orange slices, and place the slices in a creative way on top of the frosting, get creative and design your Bundt Brownie Cake.
