Hey there, dessert enthusiasts! It's been a hot minute since I last posted, but guess what? I’m back, and I've been busy in the kitchen, whipping up some sweet magic. After what feels like a decade, I’m here to share a recipe that's so easy and delicious, your kids will be begging you to make it every week. And honestly, who can say no to that?
So, grab your measuring cups, because these brownies are about to become your new best friend.
Ingredients: (No eyeballing, folks—precision is key to brownie bliss)
- Flour – 1 cup (Yeah, just the one)
- Eggs – 2, at room temperature (No fridge chills allowed)
- Oil – ½ cup (Go ahead, it’s for the brownies, not your salad)
- Powdered Sugar – 1 cup (Because we like it sweet)
- Cocoa Powder – ½ cup (Make sure it’s the good stuff)
- Baking Powder – 2 heaping teaspoons (Heap it like you mean it)
- Vanilla Essence – 1½ teaspoons (For that extra “mmm”)
Let’s Get Mixing:
- Grab a big bowl—no, bigger than that. In it, toss in your eggs, sugar, and oil. Now, beat them like they owe you money until the mixture is fluffier than a cloud.
- Add the vanilla essence and keep beating for another 4 minutes. Yes, your arm will get tired, but think of it as a workout.
- Now, sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Sift like you’re sifting for gold—trust me, it’s worth it.
- Pour the whole shebang into a microwave-safe glass dish. Microwave for 8 minutes and 30 seconds, or until your brownies look irresistible. (And don't blame me if you burn your tongue while checking them—microwaves are tricky!)
- Once they're baked, let those bad boys cool. Stab them with a wooden skewer (gently, no brownie murder here) and drizzle a generous amount of milk on top to keep them moist.
For the Icing:
- Cream – 1 pack (Olpers or whatever brand your heart desires)
- Dark Cooking Chocolate – (The darker, the better)
- Powdered Sugar – 2 teaspoons (Because more sugar = more fun)
- Butter – ½ teaspoon (Just a little dab will do)
- Coffee – A few pinches if you’re feeling fancy
In a non-stick pan, add half a pack of cream, the cooking chocolate, sugar, butter, and the optional coffee (for those who like to live on the edge). Simmer it on low heat until it’s all melted and smooth. Pour this chocolatey goodness over your brownies, sprinkle some chopped walnuts on top if you’re feeling nutty, and voila!
Now, go make yourself a steaming cup of tea or coffee, kick back, and enjoy the best brownies you’ve
ever tasted. And remember, if they disappear quickly, it’s not your fault—it’s the brownies. 😜
