Simple Chocolate Brownie

"BROWNIES" I guess is quiet a popular delicacy... We could eat them as cake when eaten individually, or a dessert when served with hot chocolate sauce along with vanilla ice-cream. Many people assume it to be over baked chocolate piece of  cake... but people who have a sweet tooth to dark chocolate...ITS JUST HEAVENLY :)
What could be the best occasion to try it out ... My niece Anushka AND nephew Omkar are here for summer vacations and we are celebrating our third wedding anniversary... Anu insisted on preparing yummy brownies as she loves them, she wanted to be a helping hand to me... and i loved it... she did all what she could do, to make it a success and yes she was :) she says she's gonna surprise Sissy on their wedding anniversary, which is soon next month :)

Ingredients :-
1. Compound chocolate (Dark) - about 100 grams grated
2. Unsalted butter - 90 grams
3. Two eggs
4. Sugar one measuring cup (about 250 grams)
5. All purpose flour one measuring cup (slightly < 250 grams)
6. Vanilla essence one tsp.
7. Baking powder 1 tsp.
8. Chopped walnuts as per taste


Methodology :-

1) Sieve together the all purpose flour (maida)  + baking powder, keep it aside

2) Melt chocolate using double boiler system in a pan along with whole butter or more easier way could be melting it in oven for 2 mins. approximately by mixing it with whole butter (add butter with chocolate pieces to be melted in microwave safe bowl and then heat it, make sure you don't overheat the mix, as beyond certain temperature chocolate tends to loose its smooth texture and turns rough, which indeed is useless for us, so keep checking by slightly stirring the mix, the result should be silk smooth paste

3) Add flour + baking powder to the chocolate + butter mix, mix well

4) Beat two eggs separately, add vanilla essence to it

5) Add egg + essence mix to the whole mixture, now start mixing the batter efficiently such that, the mix has to be prepared to an extent that you start realizing the batter turns out to be fluffy from the initial heavier phase of it, that is when your batter is all ready to bake in oven.

6) Add chopped walnuts to batter

7) Bake the ready batter for about 8 to 10 mins. depending upon the microwave to be used...Your slightly crunchy slightly soft brownies are ready...:) Relish it with hot chocolate sauce and cold vanilla ice-cream

Note: 


The best way to serve a brownie is by slightly warming it up and then adding some rich dark chocolate sauce to it accompanied by cool vanilla ice-cream...very tempting isn't it?
