½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Yield Makes about 72 mini-cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Vegetable-oil cooking spray
4 sticks unsalted butter, cut into pieces
8 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 3/4 cups granulated sugar
8 large eggs
Confectioners sugar (optional)
Special equipment: mini-muffin tins and about 72 (1- by 1-inch) waxed paper liners

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line mini-muffin tins with liners. Spray liners with cooking spray.
  • Melt butter and chocolate in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, stirring until smooth. Whisk together flour, cocoa, and salt. Remove pan from heat and whisk in granulated sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time, whisking after each addition until incorporated, and stir in flour mixture just until blended.
  • Spoon batter into muffin liners, filling cups to top, and bake in middle of oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out with crumbs adhering. Cool 5 minutes in tins and turn out onto racks. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Dust with confectioners sugar if desired.

Tips:

  • To achieve fudgy brownies, ensure you don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a cakey texture.
  • For a crispy top and a chewy interior, bake the brownies for a shorter duration.
  • To make the brownies even more decadent, try adding chocolate chips, nuts, or caramel sauce.
  • To ensure even cooking, use a toothpick or skewer to check the doneness of the brownies. When inserted, it should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
  • For a vegan version, use flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water) instead of regular eggs and use a dairy-free milk alternative.

Conclusion:

These mini brownie cakes offer a delightful combination of fudgy, chewy, and crispy textures, making them a perfect treat for chocolate lovers.
