BA’s Best Test #1: Cocoa Brownies
So I didn’t plan on testing a BA’sbest recipe tonight but I really wanted brownies and figured “why not”? I didn’t get to follow the recipe completely because I didn’t have the cocoa powder it called for and in quarantine it’s not essential to go get that so I made due with Hershey’s special dark (100% cocoa).
This is the recipe! By the Bon Apetit Test Kitchen
1 Stick of Unsalted Butter (I used salted because I always use salted it’s just what I prefer)
1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 Scharffen Berger natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt (I used iodized it’s what I had, I also put 1 tsp bc I like my desserts to have extra salt)
1 tsp vanilla (I didn’t measure because who measures vanilla)
2 large eggs (take them out half an hour before you start)
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
Spray a 9x9 pan with cooking spray, set aside
Cube the butter and melt in a small sauce pan, allow to cook slightly
In a medium bowl whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt
While whisking constantly stream in the butter (it will become like a paste)
Whisk in the eggs one at a time
Pour into prepared pan and smooth out top
Bake at 325 for 25-30 mins (mine took 35 but every oven is different.
Let cool and enjoy (I recommend them with vanilla icecream!)
Overall I really enjoyed these! They were more on the cakey side as opposed to fudgey which I prefer. They were also super easy to make, I think a baker at any level could make these! We’re they the best brownies I’ve ever had? Honestly no, but they were still really good! A solid 3.5/5
I hope you guys enjoyed this, my next recipes will be more in detail with pictures (videos if that’s something you guys want?). I’m going to be testing almost all of the other BA’s Best Recipes so if you have one you want to see just shoot me a message!
