Preparation

Step 1

To prepare the filling, pour cocoa into a bowl with sugar and mix everything with a whisk.

Opt for high-quality cocoa powder, as this is the main ingredient in this dessert.

Step 2

Next, pour milk into the sugar and cocoa and bring the mixture to a smooth consistency.

Step 3

Pour vegetable oil here and mix everything thoroughly.

It is better to use odorless vegetable oil so that the baked goods do not have a specific aroma.

Step 4

To prepare the sponge cake, add a pinch of salt, sugar and vanilla to the eggs.

Step 5

Next, beat everything with a mixer until the mixture becomes lighter and soft and airy.

Step 6

Then add the slaked baking soda and pre-sifted flour to the bowl with the eggs. Knead the dough.

Step 7

Next, add half of our filling to the dough and mix until smooth.

Step 8

Grease a baking pan with butter and lightly dust with flour. Pour the chocolate dough into the pan and bake in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.

Step 9

Prick the finished pie with a fork, pour the remaining filling over it, and return it to the oven at 180 degrees for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Let the finished cake cool, then cut into portions. Decorate the brownie however you like: add a scoop of ice cream, caramel, or fruit or berries.

Adviсe

To ensure your brownie turns out perfect, you can use the following tips:

Choose quality cocoa powder. Give preference to already familiar options, because this is the key ingredient on which the taste of the entire dessert depends.
If you don't have a silicone mold, you can use a springform pan and line the bottom with foil. You can also use a regular baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
To add an interesting touch to the dessert, you can add chopped nuts to the dough: walnuts, pectin, hazelnuts, almonds, etc.

Possible replacements

You can use cane sugar instead of white sugar. You can also add sweetness with various sweeteners.
Instead of wheat flour, you can use any gluten-free flour. You can also combine several types, for example, rice and almond.
Instead of cow's milk, you can use plant-based milk: coconut, almond, oat, buckwheat.
