Ingredients
  

  • BROWNIE CAKE:
  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/3 light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • GANACHE:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chopped or chips place in small mixing bowl.
  • GARNISH:
  • Fresh berries
  • cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • BROWNIE CAKE:
  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Line 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper, leave some overhang if you plan to pull the cake out of the pan for serving.
  • In large bowl combine and stir the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder.
  • In mixing bowl add sugars, butter, vanilla paste, milk and mix.
  • Add the eggs and mix well to combine.
  • Slowly add in the flour mixture.
  • Mix until well combined.
  • Pour batter into pan and spread with off-set spatula or regular spatula.
  • Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out a little sticky.
  • Cool completely.
  • GANACHE:
  • Heat heavy cream to simmer.
  • Pour over chocolate, let sit for 1 minute.
  • With spatula slowly stir mixture in small circular motions to make sure that the mixture is completely combined. This will take quite a few stirs as the chocolate is still melting, just keep stirring.
  • Let cool but not set completely.
  • Slather the ganache over the brownie and spread evenly with offset spatula.
  • Gently arrange the berries on top and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
  • Let set.
  • Cut into wedges. This can be done in the pan or pull the brownie out by the parchment paper and slice that way.
  • Store is cool, dry place.

Notes

1. This brownie bakes to be about 1 to 1 1/2 inches tall.
2. The luscious texture comes from under baking the brownie slightly. So check it at 20 minutes. The center should ideally be sticky when checked with a toothpick.
3. This is extremely rich and can be served in smaller slices.
4. If storing in chilled area pull out 2 hours prior to serving so its at room temp for the best texture.
