Chewy Cocoa Brownies


I doing nothing today so better get my hands dirty, off to the kitchen.  I'm looking for a chewy brownie recipe and came across this recipe.  I tried it and result if decent enough.

Oh! I also did some tweaking and instead of using the usual cups measurement I convert it into weight basis.  Anyway you can check out the link above for the original recipe.  The original recipe calls for 9" x 13" baking pan but I find it too thin when I made it the first time so I used 10" square pan.

Ingredients:

230g   White Sugar (about 1/2c plus 2/3c, do the math)
100g    Brown Sugar (the original recipe uses 1 2/3c or 330g white sugar)
3/4c     Butter (1 1/2 stick), melted
2Tbsp  Water
2pcs     Eggs
2tsp      Vanilla
175g     All purpose flour (1 1/3c)
75g       Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (3/4c)
1/2tsp    Baking Powder
1/4tsp    Salt
100g      Cashew (you may also use chocolate chips, nuts, etc.)

Procedure:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F.
  2. Sift together flour, salt, baking powder and cocoa powder.
  3. Beat together sugar, water and melted butter.
  4. Add egg one at a time and mix until egg is well incorporated.
  5. Add the vanila.
  6. Add the flour mixture and mix using the spatula.  Mix in the nuts.  Do not over mix the mixture.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes (25 minutes works for me).
  8. Take out from the oven and cool for 15 minutes in the pan.  Remove form the pan and cool completely.

Enjoy!
