Easy Fudge Brownie Cake Recipe 445

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking pan, preferably metal, with nonstick baking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper leaving a 2-inch overhang on the longer sides. Lightly coat with nonstick spray.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the butter is a deep golden color, about 5 minutes; the butter will hiss and spit as the whey evaporates so be careful. As the foam subsides the butter will go from a canary yellow color to golden. When it does, take it off the heat. Add the chocolate and cream to the butter and let it sit, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted.
• Sift the flour and cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, espresso powder and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start on low speed and gradually increase to high speed until the eggs are pale, very thick and fluffy, about 8 minutes (start your timer when you get to high speed). Do not be tempted to skimp on the mix time; this step is key to getting the signature shiny, crackled brownie top. Reduce the speed to low and slowly pour the warm chocolate into the eggs; beat until completely incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined; do not overmix. Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and fold until the batter is completely combined.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the brownies are glossy and just barely firm, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 205 degrees F, 25 to 35 minutes. Don't let the thermometer touch the bottom of the pan or you will get a much higher reading. (The cook time will be at the higher end of the range if using a glass or ceramic baking dish.)
• Let the brownies cool completely to allow the crumb to set before slicing, about 3 hours.
• Use an offset spatula to loosen the brownies from the sides of the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Remove the parchment and cut into 24 squares.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, brownie mix, eggs, oil, and water for 3 minutes on medium-high speed of mixer. Pour into prepared Bundt pan. Bake in center of oven for 40-50 minutes, or until center tests done with a wooden toothpick. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes then turn cake out onto the rack to cool completely. When cake is cool, microwave frosting for about 10 seconds on high setting, or just until drizzling consistency. Frost top of cake and garnish with chopped pecans or mini chocolate chips, if desired.

Steps:

• 1. preheat oven to 350. Grease and lightly flour Bundt pan.
• 2. In a larger bowl mix, cake mix, brownie mix, oil, eggs, and water. Pour into bundt pan and bake 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• 3. Let cake cool, transfer to a serving plate. In a small bowl, add 1/2 tub of ready to use cake icing. Melt in microwave 30-45 seconds until it is able to be drizzled over cake.
• 4. ***COOK'S NOTE*** Do not use the ingredients on the brownie mix and cake mix, just what is listed above, the brownie mix can be a slightly bigger size but I wouldn't go more to much more, that is why I said you may have to use a little more water, depending on what brand of cake & brownie mix you use.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix flour, white sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and baking powder together in a bowl. Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract; mix thoroughly. Pour batter into an ungreased 9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle brown sugar and 1/4 cup cocoa powder on top. Pour hot water on top immediately before baking.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a cake layer forms on top and springs back when lightly pressed, 30 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
• In a small saucepan, combine the butter and chopped chocolate and set over very low heat until melted. Stir the mixture and set aside to cool. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Measure the sugar into the large bowl of an electric mixer and beat in the cooled butter-chocolate mixture. Add the egg plus whites, vanilla, and water and beat well. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until blended. Don't overbeat. The batter will be thick. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes; 23 minutes is usually right for me. When done, the top will look dry and a wooden pick inserted near the edge will come out with a few crumbs but the center will look slightly gooey. Cool in the pan and cut into squares.
• I have been trying for a couple of years to produce a brownie worthy of the name with less fat and less solid chocolate. My taste testers finally agree that this is it - a great brownie they would never suspect of being lower in anything. I have cut the classic 58 percent down to 31 percent calories from fat and eliminated 87 calories, 10 g fat, and 22 mg cholesterol from each brownie.
• When traditional proportions are disrupted, textures become moist and cakey at best or dry, insipid, and tough at worst. One rule emerges clearly: The fewer ingredients, the better the brownie. Avoid the usual low-fat stand-ins: applesauce, yogurt, corn syrup, canola oil. Use butter, but less, and replace most of the solid chocolate with rich-tasting Dutch-processed cocoa; retain at least 1 ounce of solid chocolate, however, for a more complex chocolate taste. A few tricks: Cake flour produced a more tender crumb than all-purpose, and melting the butter with the chocolate, as opposed to creaming the solid butter with the sugar, gave a fudgier crumb. A touch of baking powder seems to enhance the crunch of the top crust.
• Faced with the choice of adding high-fat chopped nuts or keeping the 1/4 cup butter, there was no contest; nuts put us over the top in fat content. However, if you feel deprived without them, sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of finely chopped walnuts on top before baking; the changes are modest: 33 percent calories from fat, plus 9 calories and 1g fat per brownie.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
• In 3-quart saucepan over very low heat, melt butter or margarine and chocolate, stirring the mixture constantly. Remove from heat, and stir the sugar into the chocolate. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the chocolate mixture. Fold in the walnuts. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake in oven 30 to 35 minutes. Brownies are done when toothpick inserted into center come out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Butter a 20cm square tin and line with baking parchment. Melt the butter and chocolate in a large heatproof bowl in 30-second bursts in the microwave until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Alternatively, set the bowl over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the base doesn't touch the water, and stir until smooth. Leave to cool slightly.
• Whisk the sugar and eggs together in a bowl using an electric whisk until the mixture has doubled in volume and a ribbon holds for 3 seconds when you lift out the beaters. Scrape the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, and fold gently until well-combined.
• Sift in the cocoa powder, flour and a pinch of salt. Mix to combine, then fold in most of the milk chocolate, pretzels and nuts, reserving some for the top. Scrape the batter into the prepared tin and scatter with the reserved chocolate, pretzels and nuts. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 25 mins until just set with a shiny top and gentle wobble in the middle. Leave to cool completely in the tin, then slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with vegetable spray.
• Make cake: in small microwavable bowl, combine the chocolate chips and water. Cook on high for 30 seconds or just until the chips beging to melt. Stir the mixture until it is smooth.
• In a large bowl and using a whisk or electrical mixer, beat sugar, cocoa, egg, egg whites, sour cream, corn syrup, oil, vanilla and melted cholate.
• In another bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder. With a wooden spoon, stir the dry ingredients into the sour cream mixture just until everything is combined. Pour the mixture into a prepared pan.
• Place the pan in the centre of the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a tester comes out dry.
• Let the pan cool on a wire rack.
• Make icing: in a bowl and using a whisk or electric mixer, beat icing sugar, cocoa and water until the mixture is smooth. Spread it over the cake.
