This was my first attempt at baking brownies. As expected, they were quite easy to make and with a few tips from a friend, turned out quite well. Here’s how I made this lip-smacking treat.
Ingredients:
Brownies:
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Frosting:
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup icing sugar
Directions:
- To prepare the batter, whisk the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract with the melted butter.
- Add cocoa powder, flour, salt and baking powder and beat the mixture well.
- You could also add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter at this point.
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees (centigrade).
- Prepare a baking pan by greasing it with butter and sprinkling a little flour over it.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until firm.
- Combine all the frosting ingredients together and mix well.
- Frost the brownies while they are warm and add sprinkles or chopped nuts.
- Refrigerate the frosted brownies and then cut into squares.
