After being absent for half a year, which I apologise for, now the dark time of the year comes and cooking and baking is coming back to me. Let me start with fabulous brownies with a decadent chocolate frosting on top.
So here are the ingredients:
- 175 g of brown sugar
- 100 g unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 75 g of plain flour
- 50 g of cocoa powder
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 100 g of chocolate chips (I use a mixture of dark and white)
- for the frosting you'll need 120 g of milk or dark chocolate and 100 g of full-fat cream cheese
And how to prepare them:
- line a brownie tin with grease-proof paper
- cream the butter with the brown sugar and stir in one egg after the other
- sift in the flour, cocoa and baking powder and mix
- mix in the chocolate chips with a spatula and spread the mixture evenly in the baking tin
- use your hands (slightly wet) to push the sticky dough into the corners
- bake for 30 mins at 175 degC
- when finished let cool completely
- for the frosting melt the chocolate and let cool to luke warm before mixing with the cream cheese
- spread the mixture evenly over the cake and cut into 16 squares
- refrigerate for at least 1 h before serving
Enjoy!
