Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 10

Soft butter, for greasing the pan
Flour, for dusting the buttered pan
4 large eggs
1 cup sugar, sifted
1 cup brown sugar, sifted
8 ounces melted butter
1 1/4 cups cocoa, sifted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.
  • In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.
  • Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.

MOM'S COCOA POWDER BROWNIES



Mom's Cocoa Powder Brownies image

Oooey, Gooey, Rich and Chewy. If you are a fan of cake-like brownies, these are NOT for you. This makes a small pan of brownies that are moist and dense and need no icing. They form a crust that cracks and is a wonderful contrast to the fudgy texture of the brownie. Like all other basic brownie recipes, these are a great base for adding in chunks of chocolate, nuts, or whatever. As an adult, I like them with a 1/2 tsp of espresso powder added. For the brownie purist, the nuts are strictly optional. When I'm having one of those "must have chocolate" days, these are the perfect fix. After 1 brownie, I'm cured.

BEST COCOA BROWNIES



Best Cocoa Brownies image

Cocoa brownies have the softest center and chewiest candylike top "crust" of all because all of the fat in the recipe (except for a small amount of cocoa butter in the cocoa) is butter, and all of the sugar is granulated sugar rather than the finely milled sugar used in chocolate. Use the best cocoa you know for these fabulous brownies.

Yield Makes 16 large or 25 smaller brownies

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cold large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup walnut or pecan pieces (optional)
Special Equipment
An 8-inch square baking pan

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line the bottom and sides of the baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
  • Combine the butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium heatproof bowl and set the bowl in a wide skillet of barely simmering water. Stir from time to time until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth and hot enough that you want to remove your finger fairly quickly after dipping it in to test. Remove the bowl from the skillet and set aside briefly until the mixture is only warm, not hot.
  • Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one. When the batter looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add the flour and stir until you cannot see it any longer, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes with the wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Stir in the nuts, if using. Spread evenly in the lined pan.
  • Bake until a toothpick plunged into the center emerges slightly moist with batter, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.
  • Lift up the ends of the parchment or foil liner, and transfer the brownies to a cutting board. Cut into 16 or 25 squares.

COCOA CAKE BROWNIES

SUPER FUDGY, CHEWY COCOA BROWNIES



Super Fudgy, Chewy Cocoa Brownies image

I will be the first to admit that I am a complete brownie snob. I believe a brownie should be extremely fudgy without being under baked. I believe a brownie should be chewy; not caramel chewy, but chewy enough that the outer crust of the glorious concoction sticks a bit to my teeth as I chew it. I believe a good brownie should have slightly tougher, more chewy edges. They should NOT, however, resemble hard, stale bread that crunch and crumble as I bit into them. I'm not sure what it is that I find distasteful about the melted chocolate method that is involved in most of the chewy, fudgy brownie recipes. It just somehow feels to me they are not completely made from scratch; like I am cheating somewhere along the line. Adding chocolate chips to create a chunky effect is completely different than using them as part of the base. If you happen to feel the same way as I do, you may want to try this recipe!

Categories     Dessert

Time 10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup cold salted butter
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup cocoa (I use Hershey's Special Dark. Other types of cocoa may be used, but may make the brownies very sweet)
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (optional, but does deepen the chocolate flavor)
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a 7"x11" pan and line with parchment paper. A 9" x 13" pan may also be used, but brownies will not be as thick and baking time may be reduced.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  • Add eggs and vanilla.
  • Add cocoa, flour, salt, and espresso powder and mix until well blended.
  • Stir in chocolate chips (optional).
  • Place into preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few, moist crumbs. Appx. 30 minutes.

RICH, FUDGY COCOA BROWNIES



Rich, Fudgy Cocoa Brownies image

These are decadent!! They disappear quickly whenever I serve them. Want to make them even better? Top them with a good buttercream icing. WOW! (I use half of a batch of Recipe #261024.) Make sure you try the Extra Rich Variation too. If you want to make brownie bites, prepare the recipe without nuts and place 1 Tbls. of batter in 48 mini muffin tins. Bake for about 10 minutes. The centers will still be a bit soft but it preserves the fudginess of them. If you bake them longer, they will be a drier, more cake-like brownie bite.

  • Add eggs one at a time, beat well, by hand, after each addition. (It is important to add the eggs individually and to mix them by hand. If you don't, the brownies do not turn out near as good.).
  • Stir in vanilla, flour, and salt.
  • DO NOT OVER BEAT!
  • Fold in nuts.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes.
  • Cool completely before cutting.
  • Extra Rich Variation: melt 4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate with butter and shortening. Proceed as directed; reducing cocoa to 3/4 cups and increasing flour to 1 1/4 cup. These are sinfully good!

I got this recipe from my Mom years and years ago. It's the only way I make brownies. I love it and maybe you will too.

Provided by Jentri Wilson

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 c butter, melted
1 1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
3/4 c flour
1/2 c cocoa, unsweetened
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs in a bowl. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Pour into a greased 8" square pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
  • 2. I usually bake mine between 35 and 40 minutes so they're chewy in the middle. It makes them less cake-like.
