Best Brownies with Coco Powder

Brownies is my favourite chocolate treat.I love how I taste pure chocolate each time I take a bite.It could be served alone with your preferance of coffee or topped with mini marshmellows.But the most outrageous serving is the one with ice cream.I love having my brownies with chocolate sauce and strawberry ice cream .Many ice cream houses makes it a base for ice cream or crumbled with vanilla or caramel ice cream which match very well and add an elegant and fulfilling taste

I took this recipe from my dearest friend yasmine whom I miss so much.She is a brilliant cook ,we share the same passion for food and testing new recipes.I remember the great times we've spent preparing delicious food with the help of our dearest friend layla.We spent alot of time in kitchen not only cooking but chating and singing and saying jokes.This always ends with my hungry husband returning from work searching for the food we've prepared while it's not finished cooking yet. Every time we gather we make a party .serve yummy food,play menopoly and watch a movie.I miss you very much my dearest friends and miss these lovely days too.

Now back to the brownies,the best thing in this recipe is that it is based on Coco powder.As we all knew brownies is made using melted chocolate but in this we use coco powder and pieces od chocolate which gives it the indulging taste of chocolate.

Ingredients:

100 g unsalted butter(1/4 cup melted) melted
11/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder(small )
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons coco powder
200g any kind of chocolate (I used sweetened milk chocolate)chopped into small pieces (the size of raisin).

Directions:

In a bowl mix flour,baking powder and salt.In an electric mixer place butter and sugar and mix till they turned into creamy mixture( you can mix it by hand) add eggs and vanilla  mix until combined then dd coco powder.Add the flour mixture a little at a time while you're mixing.Add the chopped chocolate until you feel it's spread in the batter (a thick blatter).Preheat oven to180 deg C and pour the batter in a 20 inch greased and floured baking pan and into the oven for 15-20 min, according to the oven.After 15 min check it with a toothpick in the middle it should come out with little crumbles of  batter,if it came clear then it's over cooked and if it came with the dough mixture then it's not ready yet.IT SHOULD COME WITH WET CRUMBLES.For the sauce: In a saucepan melt 1/4 cup of chocolate pieces with 4 tablespoons milk. Serve the brownies hot or cooled ,the most important thing is to enjoy them.
