Double Chocolate Brownie Recipe - Chocolate Overload!


	Double Chocolate Brownie Recipe One pot on the stove! This double chocolate brownie recipe is moist and dense. It's one of those easy cake recipes that is made in one bowl AND ON THE STOVE. Super easy clean up - so that's why I'll make 'em for potlucks, class parties, or a last minute dessert. There are a couple of spices that may scare you - like anise and nutmeg. We use them alot in Italian cakes. Just skip 'em if you want. My Italian grandma didn't add them and the Italian cooking police never wrote her a citation. I just add them to give the chocolate some MORE depth. Other than the optional spices, there's nothing crazy or complex to these. Too, I have added these frosting recipes on the top when I'm feeling really outrageous! Caramel Frosting Coffee Frosting If you want to substitute and add or take away ingredients - chances are it may be listed in the substitution section below. Double Chocolate Brownie Recipe YIELD: 1 - 8 x 12 pan (Yes this is a small batch - I usually double) Ingredients: * 2/3 cup sugar * 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder * 3 ounces unsalted butter * 2 eggs * 1/3 cup of flour * 1/8 teaspoon anise (TOTALLY OPTIONAL) * 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (TOTALLY OPTIONAL) * 1/2 teaspoon baking powder * 1/2 cup chocolate chips (get good quality for heaven's sake!) Procedure * Pre-heat oven to 350 F. * Grease your pan. (Real good!) * Melt the butter in a saucepan. * After it's melted take it off the heat and add the cocoa and sugar. * Add the eggs. * Put the dry ingredients in a sifter and sift everything into the saucepan and mix. * Don't' leave any pockets of flour. * Add the chocolate chips and stir. * Pour into the pan. * Bake for 30 minutes. Or toothpick-clean-done. TIP: Make sure when you check with toothpick that you are not hitting a gooey piece of chocolate. If you hit one of those pieces of chocolate it may look like your batter is still wet. Adapted from Great Tastes Baking by Bay Books Can I add nuts? Yup. I just have a house full of nut-haters. They pick 'em out. So I figure why waste the money buying them and the time chopping them. Let alone it really ticks me off when people pick through what I bake! What is anise? Anise is a common Italian spice. We use it in our dessert recipes. The closest thing to compare it to is licorice, black licorice. And nope, it's not related to licorice at all. What's the best cocoa? A good quality cocoa! This is a DOUBLE chocolate brownie recipe. So - you want all aspects of the chocolate to have some quality to them. So let's just use common sense. No Dollar Store cocoa! No expired chips or cocoa. AND only use OFF brand if you like the taste it gives you and you are familiar with it. Can I use other types of chips? It's your recipe. I just posted the basic double chocolate brownie recipe in it's most simplistic form. Ok, I did add the nutmeg and anise which is optional. But yeah, if you want to add white chocolate chips have at it. Just remember - the chips melt and that is what give the flavor - they won't remain in full chip shape.
