Some delicious brownies with double chocolate anybody? No? Really? Oh well… I can eat the whole pan myself – no problem at all! :P
Well – I don’t think that there are many that could resist those brownies. At least none of my friends – the were gone instantly. But with “double chocolate” – what do you expect, right?! ;)
One important thing when baking brownies – never ever bake them through and through! They HAVE to be a bit fudgy in the middle – at least a bit. Same with a good steak :P Most people don’t like it when it is cooked too much and dry in the middle – and that’s what happens if you bake brownies too much – they get dry and bäh ;)
I baked the brownies in a skillet pan* (made myself a little gift right before Christmas) and I am really happy about them! As you can see they are not only for frying stuff, you can also bake in it. Works pretty good actually. If you don’t have that at hand, you can use a regular baking pan of course (should have about the same size though). Don’t forget to line with baking parchment or you will have problems getting the brownies out of the pan.
And now chop the chocolate and mix your batter!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
1 cup (200g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
4 eggs
1 cup (200g) sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup (50g) chocolate chips
confectioner’s sugar for dusting
200g Zartbitterschokolade, gehackt
4 Eier
200g Zucker
1 TL Vanille Extrakt
130g Mehl (Type 405)
1/4 TL Salz
50g Schokoladendrops
Puderzucker zum Bestäuben
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Melt butter and chocolate – either in the microwave or a heatproof bowl on a pot with simmering water – just make sure it melts slowly. Set aside and let cool down.
3. In a large bowl beat eggs and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy (about 4-5 minutes). Add vanilla extract and mix in. Add flour, salt and the melted chocolate and mix until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and fold in. Pour into the lined skillet or cake pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 20-24 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Don’t bake too long or you will get a dry brownie – the inside should be still soft. Let cool down and dust with confectioner’s sugar befor serving.
2. Die Butter mit der Schokolade schmelzen – entweder in der Mikrowelle oder in einer hitzebeständigen Schüssel über einem Topf mit köchelndem Wasser. Egal mit welcher Methode, die Schokolade sollte langsam schmelzen. Zur Seite stellen und abkühlen lassen.
3. In einer großen Schüssel die Eier mit dem Zucker auf höchster Stufe aufschlagen, bis alles hell und luftig ist (dauert etwa 4-5 Minuten). Vanille Extrakt zugeben und unterrühren. Mehl, Salz und die geschmolzene Schokoladenmischung zugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Schokoladendrops zugeben und unterheben. Den Teig in die Pfanne oder Kuchenform geben und glattstreichen. Im Ofen für 20-24 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Achtung: der Brownie sollte aber nicht zu lange backen, sonst wird er trocken – das Innere sollte noch immer weich sein. Abkühlen lassen und vor dem Servieren mit Puderzucker bestäuben.

You’re so right about brownies needing to be fudgy. If you cook these all the way through then in my opinion it’s just chocolate cake :-)
These look delicious and that is a lovely pan!
well – a chocolate cake would not be bad either :P
but fudgy brownies are definitely better! ;)
