It’s been a while and I felt quite lazy to sit in front of the computer and blog. This afternoon, I experimented on another dessert recipe culled from the net. I was looking for a simple recipe for chocolate brownies, something easy to do with a minimum of preparation and found this. As usual, I tweaked it a bit adding grated Belgian chocolate truffles on top instead of frosting. My son was all praise for it and said it taste more like a chocolate cake than a simple brownie mix. I smiled and said, “the one on top makes it so yummy” plus the unsweetened dark chocolate I used.
Look at how it looked when I finished baking it and topping it with truffles.
Here’s the recipe if you want to try it. You can double the amount of ingredients if you want a thicker slice.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup white sugar (since I used unsweetened chocolate, this is just enough)
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
Frosting:
3 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. cocoa powder
1 tbsp. honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
Procedure:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and flour an 8-square inch baking pan. (I just greased it).
In a large saucepan, melt 1/2 cup butter, remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs and 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Beat in 1/3 cup cocoa powder, salt, 1/2 cup flour and baking powder. You don’t need to use a mixer, a spoon will do. Spread batter into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Garnish with grated chocolate truffles while still hot. Slice into squares when it is cool to the touch.
You had me at Belgian chocolate. Yum!

I’d probably look for a less expensive version. 😉 I just had to comment. Chocolate is involved. 😀
