Moist Chocolate Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a square 8x8 pan.
• Sift flour with sugar, salt, and cocoa.
• Add Butter, eggs, and vanilla.
• Use spoon and beat 100 strokes per minute for 3 minutes by hand or 2 minutes on medium speed with mixer.
• Stir in nuts until evenly mixed through.
• Pour into pan and spread out evenly.
• Bake 20 to 22 minutes.
• Cool and then cut.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
• Chop the chocolate into chunks. Melt half of the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, saving the other half for later.
• In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer, then beat in the eggs and vanilla for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture becomes fluffy and light in color.
• Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure it's not too hot or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold to incorporate the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix as this will cause the brownies to be more cake-like in texture.
• Fold in the chocolate chunks, then transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you like your brownies, then cool completely.
• Slice, then serve with a nice cold glass of milk!
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking pan.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar. Add eggs, and mix well. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in the vanilla and stir in walnuts if desired. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are firm. Cool before cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Cut 185g unsalted butter into small cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl.
• Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them.
• Remove the bowl from the pan. Alternatively, cover the bowl loosely with cling film and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on High. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature.
• While you wait for the chocolate to cool, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Using a shallow 20cm square tin, cut out a square of non-stick baking parchment to line the base. Tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl. Tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps.
• Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board.
• Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar. They will look thick and creamy, like a milk shake. This can take 3-8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is. You'll know it's ready when the mixture becomes really pale and about double its original volume. Another check is to turn off the mixer, lift out the beaters and wiggle them from side to side. If the mixture that runs off the beaters leaves a trail on the surface of the mixture in the bowl for a second or two, you're there.
• Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going under and over in a figure of eight, moving the bowl round after each folding so you can get at it from all sides, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. The idea is to marry them without knocking out the air, so be as gentle and slow as you like.
• Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly.
• Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Stop just before you feel you should, as you don't want to overdo this mixing.
• Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they're dotted throughout.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Gently ease the mixture into the corners of the tin and paddle the spatula from side to side across the top to level it.
• Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 mins. When the buzzer goes, open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it's not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. Take out of the oven.
• Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then, if you're using the brownie tin, lift up the protruding rim slightly and slide the uncut brownie out on its base. If you're using a normal tin, lift out the brownie with the foil. Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares and finally into triangles.
• They'll keep in an airtight container for a good two weeks and in the freezer for up to a month.

• MELTING CHOCOLATE: I place the butter and chocolate in a small glass bowl and sit the bowl on the burner to my drip coffee maker when I first start this recipe.
• It melts the chocolate to perfection, and cleanup is so easy.

Combine the water and coffee granules; add to cocoa mixture. Stir in sugar until smooth. Frost brownies.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180 degrees/fan 160/gas 4. Line a 22cm baking tin with greaseproof paper. Collect all the ingredients and equipment you will need; scales, 2 x mixing bowl, whisk, wooden spoon, chopping board, sharp knife, sieve.
• Finely chop the chocolate, (be careful to not touch the chocolate as softened it is harder to chop), next put the chocolate and butter together in a microwavable mixing bowl and microwave for roughly 1 min (keep an eye on it as everyones microwaves work at different speeds). mix the melted chocolate and butter together with a wooden spoon so that no melted butter can be seen above the chocolate.
• Whisk together the eggs and the sugar to form a light fluffy consistancy, then fold this into the chocolate and butter mix. Stir in the 'figure of 8' rotation to mix in well.
• Sieve the flour and cocoa powder into the batter a tablespoon at a time, each time mixing again with the 'figure of 8' rotation. Once all flour and cocoa has been mixed in add the ameretto or any other ingredients you might like to add (chocolate chips, chopped almonds etc.) and pour into the baking tin. Place in the centre of the oven for roughly 30 mins. After 30 mins check with a skewer to see whether it is ready, (if the skewer comes out clean it's done).
• Take out of the oven and leave to cool on the tin for 30 mins, then lift the greaseproof paper and place on countertop. Use a sharp knife to cut into brownie slices, and then arrange on a plate and dust them with icing sugar.
