These brownies soothe the most intense chocolate cravings. You can't taste the coffee liqueur; it adds depth and richness. They lend themselves to multiple variations, too! I've added raspberry chips, nuts, etc., all with great success. Ingredients:
1 cup shortening |
14 tablespoons cocoa (1 c. less 2 tbsp.) |
1 1/2 cups flour, sifted |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 eggs |
2 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/3 cup coffee liqueur |
Directions:
1. Melt shortening and cocoa together in the microwave or over a double boiler.
2. In a small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat eggs.
4. Add sugar to eggs and mix.
5. Add cocoa mixture to egg mixture.
6. Add vanilla extract and coffee liqueur to cocoa/egg mixture.
7. Add flour mixture, and stir until mixed.
8. Pour batter into a greased 9x13 cake pan.
9. The batter will be thick.
10. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
11. Do not overbake.
12. Put brownies on a cool surface, such as a protected countertop, after removing them from the oven so that they do not continue to cook.
13. Bon appetit!
