Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. BROWNIE CAKE:
  2. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F
  3. Line 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper, leave some overhang if you plan to pull the cake out of the pan for serving.
  4. In large bowl combine and stir the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder.
  5. In mixing bowl add sugars, butter, vanilla paste, milk and mix.
  6. Add the eggs and mix well to combine.
  7. Slowly add in the flour mixture.
  8. Mix until well combined.
  9. Pour batter into pan and spread with off-set spatula or regular spatula.
  10. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out a little sticky.
  11. Cool completely.
  12. GANACHE:
  13. Heat heavy cream to simmer.
  14. Pour over chocolate, let sit for 1 minute.
  15. 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.
  16. Let cool but not set completely.
  17. Slather the ganache over the brownie and spread evenly with offset spatula.
  18. Gently arrange the berries on top and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
  19. Let set.
  20. Cut into wedges. This can be done in the pan or pull the brownie out by the parchment paper and slice that way.
  21. 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.
