King Arthur Fudge Brownies
- 4 large eggs
- 1 14 cups double-dutch dark cocoa (or Dutch-process cocoa, Do not substitute with natural cocoa, affects taste and texture.)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 14 cups sugar
- 1 12 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan.
- Crack the 4 eggs into a bowl, and beat them at medium speed with the cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla for about 4 minutes.
- You can do this while you're melting your butter (next step).
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, or in a saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then add the sugar and stir to combine.
- Or simply combine the butter and sugar, and heat, stirring, until the butter is melted.
- Continue to heat (or microwave) briefly, just until the mixture is hot (about 110F to 120F), but not bubbling; it'll become shiny looking as you stir it.
- Heating the mixture to this point will dissolve more of the sugar, which will help produce a shiny top crust on your brownies.
- Add the hot butter/sugar mixture to the egg/cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Add the flour and chips, stirring until smooth.
- Again, adding the chips helps produce a shiny top crust.
- Spoon the batter into a lightly greased 9" x 13" pan.
- Bake the brownies for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
- The brownies should feel set on the edges, and the center should look very moist, but not uncooked.
- Remove them from the oven and cool on a rack before cutting and serving.
