THE BEST FUDGY BROWNIES RECIPE BY TASTY



The Best Fudgy Brownies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: good-quality chocolate, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Time 45m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 oz good-quality chocolate, semi-sweet
12 tablespoons butter, melted
1 ¼ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt

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!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the cake. Use a chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking the cake will make it dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Get creative with your toppings! You can use anything from chopped nuts and sprinkles to fresh fruit and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Brownie fudge cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and fudgy texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips to make the best brownie fudge cake possible.
