Chocolate Brownies #1

Since I am so free now, I will keep my blog updating. Oops, I think I had said this so so many times but my blog still dead hahaha. Huuhuu my passion is back ok!

Happy Friday! Decided to bake something because I am craving for sweet treats + my mom won't stop asking me to bake. Anyway, I baked chocolate brownies and wanna share recipe to you all! It's really easy, difficulty is only ★★★ according to the recipe book. :D

What we need :

Dark Chocolate 120g

2 eggs (room temperature)

Brown sugar 120g

Melted butter 90g

Salt 1/4 tsp

Flour 60g

Chopped walnuts 1/2 cup

Vanilla essence 1/2 tsp

Fyi, I never add vanilla essence or any essence whenever I bake. Because I don't think it's necessary haha. Of course you may add them, it will enhance the flavor and aroma of the cake I guess.

Here are the steps : 

1) Finely chop the dark chocolate. Melt over a pot of simmering water.

2) In another bowl, beat eggs and brown sugar with an electric mixer for about 8 minutes until thick.

3) Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Add melted butter and stir well.Sift in flour, salt and add vanilla essence. Mix again. lastly add walnuts and stir well.

4) Pour the butter into the baking tray (20-cm square tray) lined with baking paper.Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 40 minutes. Leave it to cool and cut into pieces.

Optionally, sprinkle with icing sugar and serve!

It had been a long time since I last baked this so I had forgotten about the thickness. I was worrying when I sent it to the oven. Wondering why is my cake so thin?! Luckily it turned out well. 

Yummmm. The tops two photos are my Brownies Tower and Brownies Castle. Lame I know ~
 The only sad thing is I HAVE NO ICE CREAM IN MY FRIDGE. 

Oh no how can it be.

Ice cream + Brownies = Perfection !!

It's ok, I'll just eat it and drink my milk hahaha. Ciao!
