Eazee Brownies



I keep trying different Brownie recipes all the time. For the beginners , who need a little more expertise with cakes , can find comfort in brownies. Mostly , nothing much can go wrong with them. I liked the look of Divya Kudua brownies & I had to try it.
Besides it was a friend's birthday & I wanted to share some goodies with her. I replaced the butter with oil to reduce the guilt factor :)
Chocolate & coffee flavours marry well. I was tempted into adding some instant coffee for that deep flavor. I had acquired some Rum for the Christmas fruit cake. So a tbsp of that also had to be added.
The results are here to see. They were good, no doubt. But ice cream or chocolate sauce would have complimented & completed the SIN.

Ingredients

All purpose flour - 1 cup
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Dark chocolate - 100 gms ,
Butter/ oil - 90 gms
Castor sugar - 3/4 cup
Eggs - 2
Vanilla essence - 1 tsp
Walnuts - 1/2 cup , broken
Instant coffee powder - 1 tsp dissolved in some water

Method

Prepare a 8" tin.
Sift flour & baking powder together.
Melt the dark chocolate & butter in the microwave & allow it to cool.
Powder the sugar .
Beat the eggs first & than spoon in the sugar & beat again.
Pour in the chocolate mixture, vanilla essence & dissolved coffee.
Fold in the flour.
Pour the batter in the tin & bake in a pre - heated oven for about 40 minutes @ 180 C.
Cool on wire rack & cut & devour.
