Fudge Brownies
Recipe from Food Network
Ingredients
- Butter-flavored nonstick cooking spray
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup minus 2 tablespoons sifted cake flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Generous pinch of ground nutmeg
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg plus 2 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons water
Method
- Position a rack in the center of the oven, heat to 350°F, and lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in a small saucepan over very low heat. Stir and set aside to cool.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Beat the sugar with the cooled chocolate mixture. Add the egg, egg whites, vanilla, and water and beat well.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low just until blended; do not overmix.
- Spread the thick batter in the prepared pan and bake for 22 to 25 minutes. The top should look dry, with a few crumbs near the edge and a slightly gooey center.
- Cool in the pan, then cut into squares.
