Servings

Egg C1

5 pcs
Chocolate

300 G
Sugar

250 G
Butter

230 G
Wheat flour

150 G
Walnuts

130 G
Coffee

1 tbsp
Vanilla extract

1 tsp

Preparation

Step 1

Mix sifted wheat flour and finely ground coffee for aroma.

Step 2

Combine softened butter and chopped dark chocolate in a saucepan. Melt the ingredients in a double boiler. Be sure to choose butter with at least 82% fat content and chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content.

Step 3

Remove the glossy chocolate mixture and let it cool until it sets slightly.

Step 4

Place chicken eggs at room temperature into a mixer bowl.

Step 5

Add sugar. You can use regular or brown sugar.

Step 6

A little vanilla extract for flavor. This product can also be substituted with vanilla powder, vanilla sugar, or vanilla bean.

Step 7

Beat the mixture well until it becomes a fluffy, homogeneous white mass.

Step 8

Combine the chocolate mixture and beaten eggs. Stir.

Step 9

Add flour and knead the dough.

Step 10

At the very end, add finely chopped walnuts.

Step 11

Spread the brownie batter into a baking pan and smooth the surface. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20–25 minutes. The brownie should still be slightly moist inside, so checking for doneness with a wooden skewer isn't recommended.

Step 12

Let the cake cool to room temperature in the pan. Remove the brownies and cut into squares. Enjoy!

Rules for storing brownie cupcakes

Chocolate brownie cake should be refrigerated in an airtight container to prevent the cake from absorbing odors. The cake will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Some housewives store brownies in the freezer to prolong their freshness for the next occasion. The shelf life of chocolate brownies in the freezer is up to 1-1.5 months. When storing, the cake should also be placed in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap.

If you store square cakes in a basket or candy bowl, be sure to cover them with a napkin to prevent them from developing a crust. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, as this will cause the dough to dry out.

Follow these simple rules for storing your cake and enjoy this delicious baked good for as long as possible.

How to defrost a brownie cake

If you store brownies in the freezer, there will come a time when you'll need to defrost them. The key is to defrost them properly to preserve their flavor.

Transfer the cake from the freezer to the refrigerator, placing it on the bottom shelf or in the fruit drawer, overnight. Be sure to let it come to room temperature before serving. If desired, you can warm the cakes slightly in the microwave, but be careful not to overheat the filling.
