Brownie Classic Mama's JustLike
- 34 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1 14 cups cake flour
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 34 teaspoon baking powder
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, broken up to melt
- 12 tablespoons butter, cut up to melt
- 2 14 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Place oven rack so 13 x 9 pan will sit in middle of oven.
- Temp: 330 degrees.
- 18" foil folded lengthwise to 8" wide - push into pan bottom long way.
- 14" foil 12" wide - place into pan bottom across width.
- The overhang acts as handles to remove entire baked brownie after cooling.
- Coat foil with nonstick cooking spray (this method works great by the way).
- Spread the WALNUTS on a cookie sheet and roast for about 8 minutes.
- Set aside.
- In small mixing bowl whisk together FLOUR, SALT, BAKING POWDER.
- Set aside.
- In large bowl melt CHOCOLATE and BUTTER in a sauce pan of near boiling water (on stove simmering).
- If butter is right out of refrigerator this is 10 minutes or so.
- Stir this occasionally until smooth.
- Remove hot bowl from sauce pan and gradually whisk in SUGAR.
- Add EGGS one at a time whisking EACH in thoroughly.
- Whisk in VANILLA.
- With a rubber spatula, add one third of the FLOUR MIXTURE at a time folding in fully each time.
- I add the WALNUTS as the last third becomes blended.
- Transfer into baking pan on top of oiled foil strips, smooth out.
- BAKE at 330 degrees for 35 minutes.
- If toothpick pushed into center comes out with a couple crumbs, it's done.
- My oven requires 40 minutes.
- Cool to room temperature (2 hours) and lift out with foil "handles".
- Cut into 2" squares and serve.
- That's what original directions say.
- Tip: After cool, I lift whole "cake" to break it loose (doesn't take much at all) and leave it in dish.
- Put a cutting board on top and flip the whole thing.
- Now, on cutting board peel foil off and put back baking dish back on and flip back.
- NOW, cut it up.
- Baking dish is a serving dish with easily removed 2" brownies!
- Tip2: After cooling for a little while I put it on my granite top and move it every ten minutes.
- When I want a brownie quicker, this helps that pesky room temperature thing quite a bit.
- Sorry laminate counter top guys.
- Don't ruin your counters with hot stuff.
