From Everyday Food Jan/Feb 2008 These brownies have a triple helping of chocolate: cocoa powder and melted chocolate in the batter, plus chocolate chunks on top. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as safflower, plus more for pan |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup packed dark brown sugar |
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce |
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (2 ounces melted, 2 ounces coarsely chopped) |
2 large eggs |
Directions:
1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush a 9-inch square baking pan with oil; line with a strip of parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides, and brush paper with oil. 2. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda; set aside. In another medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, applesauce, sour cream, melted chocolate, eggs, and oil until combined; add flour mixture, and mix just until moistened. 3. 3. Spread batter in prepared pan; sprinkle top with chopped chocolate. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 30 to 35 minutes. 4. 4. Cool completely in pan. Use paper overhang to lift cake from pan; peel off paper, and discard. Cut into 16 squares. |
