I've made these frosted brownies for so many years, I don't need a recipe card to follow. When our three grandchildren visit the farm, they're delighted when I serve these-plain or with ice cream. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, cubed |
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
1 cup water |
2 cups sugar |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 to 4 drops red food coloring, optional |
frosting: |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1/4 cup baking cocoa |
1/4 cup buttermilk |
3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
dash salt |
3/4 cup chopped almonds, optional |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring butter, cocoa and water just to a boil. Cool. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour and baking soda and salt. Pour over dry ingredients; mix well.
2. Add buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, and food coloring if desired. Mix until well combined. Pour into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
3. For frosting, melt butter, cocoa and buttermilk in a saucepan. Stir in the sugar, vanilla and salt. Spread over warm cake. Top with nuts if desired. Yield: 15 brownies.
