Time 30m

Yield 1 11x17 pan of brownies, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup water
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 dash salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs, beaten
4 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup butter
6 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Brownie: Preheat oven to 400°; grease an 11" x 17" jelly roll pan.
  • Mix sugar and flour in a bowl; in a saucepan bring to boil the butter, shortening, water, cocoa and salt; pour cocoa mixture over flour mixture and stir until combined.
  • Beat in buttermilk, baking soda, eggs and vanilla; pour into baking pan and bake for 15 minutes, until center is barely set; DO NOT OVERBAKE; the center of the brownie will be slightly puffed but, if not overbaked, will fall when cool.
  • Frosting: Prepare the frosting while the brownie bakes; in same saucepan, bring to boil the butter, milk and cocoa; remove from heat and stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla; stir until smooth.
  • Pour and spread over the brownie immediately after removing it from the oven; cool and refrigerate.
