Fudgy Brownies (Very First Attempt)

People may not believe it, but I used to bake. I stopped doing it after I graduated from my university. I’d blame it on the lack of spare time, but I guess that’s just a lame excuse I made up in my head. Now, thanks to baking & cooking videos that showed up in my explore page in instagram, I am motivated to improve my baking skill and to pick up cooking as my new skill. HA HA. 

I’ve baked various flavour of cupcakes and its icings, based on the recipes from a book that my mom bought in Georgetown Cupcake’s store in DC called ‘Sweet Celebration’. I forgot where I put it the last time, I just assume that it’s gone. I also baked cinnamon rolls and its nice thick glaze with Uci, based on a random video we found in youtube. I don’t remember the exact video and I don’t feel like finding it either. So, to avoid similar scenarios in the future, I am determined to record and post my baking and cooking journey, here, in this very page.

Here goes my attempt to bake Fudgy Brownies (with a recipe from a random video in instagram).

INGREDIENTS:

- 8 ounces of chocolate (I used 1 dark chocolate Bar)

- 3/4 cup melted butter

- 1 1/4 cups of sugar

- 2 eggs

-2 teaspoons vanilla

- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/4 cup cocoa powder

-1 teaspoon salt

Whenever I bake, I like to make sure that I have all of the ingredients ready by laying them all in the table. Honestly, for me, the preparation of the ingredients is a very challenging stage and usually takes a lot of time (and patience). A great tip that I’d like to keep in mind for the preparation of the ingredients is to ALWAYS SIFT powdery ingredients (i.e. flour, cocoa powder, sugar, etc) when you first measure them. Trust me, IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. 

As for the butter, I found that you can prepare melted butter by manually melting it in the stove or having it melted instantly in microwave. The latter is very tempting, but I read that the taste of the melted butter is so much nicer when you have it melted in a stove instead of in a microwave. Anyway, if you decide to melt it in a stove, make sure that you melt it in a heavy saucepan over a medium low heat.

Once you have the ingredients ready, the first thing that you have to do is to preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. 

Proceed to chop the chocolate bar into chucks, and divide the chunks into two parts. Melt the first half of the chunks and save the other half for later. I have this unfounded fear that the chunks could melt, so I save it in the fridge (probably very unnecessary, but I don’t care). Leave the melted chocolate to cool down.

Mix the butter and the sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until the mixture has become fluffy and light in color. In this attempt, I made a mistake by using vanilla powder, instead of extract. I’m not sure if it actually affects the taste, but mine turned out just fine. Nevertheless, in my next attempt, I will make sure to use the extract.

Whisk in the melted chocolate (make sure the chocolate is not too hor, or else the eggs will cook), then sift in the flour, cocoa powder and salt. Incorporates the other half of the chocolate chunks into the batter.

Transfer the batter into the baking dish that has been covered with a baking paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool completely.

TA DAAAAAA!!!!!!

My biggest regret was that I over-baked the brownies for more than 30 minutes. Hence, you can see a bit of burnt sides in the edges of the brownies, but the rest of the brownies turned out to be just fine.

The recipe said that the brownies is meant to be served for 9 people, but there were only five people in my house who were lucky enough to taste it. They may be biased, but they assured me that it tasted great. Even the burnt edges tasted pretty alright. For reference, this is how much left of it within 2 (two) hours:

So, I guess, it really is nice? heheh.

If I were to make this again, I think I’m going to substitute some of the chocolate chunks with cheese chunks and to cover the top of the batter with shredded cheddar cheese before I put them in the oven. Such addition may be necessary to suppress the overwhelming chocolate sweetness in the brownies (which I believe comes from the chocolate chunks). 

Overall, not bad for a first attempt!
