Chocolate Brownies😍 As most of you already know, I love
anything sweet, especially something chocolaty. If you are like me, then
chocolate brownie with a scoop of ice cream is just the thing you need. Thanks to Tharu for making this for me😘 . All I had to do was just to sit and enjoy! Until sometime
ago, I used to wonder what exactly the difference is between cakes and
brownies. It is all in the texture. Brownies are more fudgy and dense than
cake. Brownie batter has lesser moisture than that of cake. The fudgy texture
is one of the main reasons why I like it. And not to forget the choco chips,
which make it all the more chocolaty. Perfect, isn’t it?
We don’t have an oven and as you would have guessed, Tharu made
it using the pressure cooker. Thinking it would look cute, I skipped the generic
squares and rectangles and cut them into circles. And they did look great! I have
been yearning to post the pics for a long time and finally, have done it. The recipe
I have followed is of The Foodie Eats. December is about to begin and so here
is my first Christmas post… enjoy!
Preparation time: 10 minutes| Cooking time: 45 minutes to 1
hour
Course: Dessert| Cuisine: American
Ingredients:
Butter- ½ cup (room temperature)
Sugar- 1 cup
Eggs-2
Vanilla extract- 1 tsp
Maida- ¾ th cup
Cocoa powder- ½ cup
Baking powder- ½ tsp
Salt- ½ tsp
Chocolate chips- 1 cup
Method:
1.
Take butter in large mixing bowl. Using a hand
mixer, beat butter for two minutes until it becomes soft. Then add sugar and
continue mixing until fully combined.
2.
Add eggs
and blend until fully mixed. Add vanilla extract and mix again.
3.
In a separate mixing bowl, add all dry
ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Whisk together until
combined.
4.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet
ingredients. Gently mix until fully combined. Add chocolate chips to batter. Then
using a rubber spatula mix well.
5.
Grease a vessel with butter thoroughly. Pour batter
into pan and spread out evenly.
6.
Add a trivet and 1 ½ cup water to cooker. Place
the vessel on top of trivet. Loosely cover pan with aluminium foil. This will
keep out moisture.
7.
Lock lid and cook for 45 minutes on medium
flame, without putting the weight. After 45 minutes, open the lid and check
with a tooth pick if the cake is fully done. If not, cook for another 10 to 15
minutes.
8.
Switch off flame. Remove pan from cooker and
allow brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing.
9.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream!
Notes:
·
You can replace choco chips with walnuts.
·
Greasing the vessel with butter is very
important. Make sure the vessel is very well greased.
·
Cooling the brownies after removing from cooker
is also very important. We have used small cups to shape the brownies. You can
also shape them into squares.
