There are a lot of different types of brownies out there. Basically, you can add anything you want to your brownies that you like. But, at the base, a brownie is a brownie.
Brownie mixes makes good brownies, but if you are interested in how to make a brownie from scratch, below is a good basic recipe. If you are interested in what the difference between a chocolate cake and a brownie is, it is usually that brownies don't have any Baking Soda or Baking Powder in them so they don't rise up.
This recipe has just a tad bit of Baking Powder so they have just a hint of a cake texture to them.
Recipe:
- 1/2 cup Butter
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp. Vanilla
- 1/3 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 cup Flour
- 1/4 tsp. Salt
- 1/4 tsp. Baking Powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8 inch square pan.
In a large saucepan, melt butter. Remove pan from heat and stir in sugar and vanilla. Next you need to stir in the egg.
To add egg, place egg in a small bowl and beat while adding a spoonful of the butter, sugar, vanilla mixture to the egg. Continue beating and adding a little bit of the mixture. Now take the egg mixture and slowly beat it back into the butter, sugar, vanilla mixture. You do this because you never want to add an egg to a hot or warm mixture because it will cook the egg and you will get egg clumps.
Beat in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook.
