Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

Brownies:
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, plus more for pan
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate (preferably 72% cacao)
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze:
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate (preferably 72% cacao)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter
1 tablespoon dark rum
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Brownies:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour an 8x8" baking dish, shaking out excess flour. Toast walnuts, if using, on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes; let cool. Increase oven temperature to 375°F.
  • Whisk cocoa, salt, baking powder, and 1 cup flour in a medium bowl to combine and work out any lumps. Heat chocolate, sugar, and 1/2 cup butter in a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat and add eggs one at a time, beating vigorously with a wooden spoon to blend after each addition. Mix in vanilla, then add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in reserved walnuts (do not overmix).
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan; smooth top. Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30-40 minutes. Let cool.
  • Glaze:
  • Heat chocolate, butter, rum, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring constantly, until smooth.
  • Pour glaze over brownies and top with walnuts, if using. Chill until glaze is set, at least 1 hour. Slice into 12 brownies.
  • Do Ahead
  • Brownies can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.

I'm a big fan of pineapple upside down cake, so I was excited to try these brownies. I wasn't disappointed! The pineapple flavor is perfect and the brownies are so moist and fudgy. I'll definitely be making these again.
