Theres been plenty of good chocolate stuff that’s been popping up across the blogosphere. Its just a matter of time and I get seriously tempted. Even if I resolve to stay away, the no longer ‘forever on a diet’ teen craves something chocolate. These Double Chocolate Fudge Brownies were a result of her last craving … {and there have been a few more}.
I was inspired by two wonderful food bloggers from two different continents. Tamara from Croatia who blogs at Bite My Cake posted scrumptious brownies. Then pretty soon after, Alli, the English lass from New Zealand @ Pease Pudding served up these, her post inspiring me to take endless pictures too!Eventually baked decadent fudgy brownies as the feed in my inbox was getting increasingly delicious. I first succumbed to virtual chocolate craving, and was soon energised into brownie baking, but the lack of time and energy had me improvise and make life simpler. Simple enough … one bowl = less washing … and mixing by hand!Mr PAB is not a brownie lover. I think that’s because brownies were the only thing I could back seven years ago and he had had an overdose of them. I was constantly baking the only recipe I knew … and then the blog bug bit me!Praise from him for these brownies made me stand up and take notice. I don’t have a sweet tooth so barely ever indulge in sweet desserts. More often than never I depend on feedback unless of course something has coffee in it, in which case I could happily gobble it up and declare my own verdict!Hmmm … one bite, then another and soon the square was gone. These were wonderful indeed. Chocolaty, fudgy, chocolaty, fudgy … decadent and very indulgent brownies! I would have added chopped walnuts but was out of them. These 20 squares disappeared very fast.Fun to make, quick too with minimum washing up, these must be the fastest brownies and one of the most delicious bites I have made! {I have to admit I made another very yummy flourless batch soon after … but then thats another story!}
Just got a mail from Paperblog …“We’ve really been enjoying your posts and their excellent, quality
content. We have selected you as the ‘Blogger of the Day’.” Thank you!!
Summary: Brownies in a bowl. Chocolaty, fudgy, chocolaty, fudgy … decadent and very indulgent!! They get made n a jiffy with not much washing up to do!
Prep Time: 10 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes Ingredients:
150g dark chocolate, chopped
100g butter
40g light olive oil
3 eggs
80g vanilla sugar
70g plain flour
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Method:
Preheat oven to 180C and line a 20cm x 20cm cake tin with baking paper.
Melt butter and 100g of the chocolate in a large bowl the microwave for 1 minute. {or in a large heavy bottom pan over low heat}. Add oil, whisk to blend, and cool slightly if too warm.
Whisk in the eggs one by one, then the vanilla extract followed by the sugar and flour. Blend well.
Mix in the remaining dark chocolate and pour brownie mix into prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. If served slightly warm the chocolate bits will ooze out which is rather delicious but they are very good cold too.
