Anyway, I've been scouring the FoodGawker website, looking at anything and everything! I've really become interested in baking from scratch, as I watch a lot of The Food Network and want to be able to cook something delicious from scratch. As I've mentioned before, I'm not a natural cook, and I'm really pushing myself to learn different recipes and try things that I normally wouldn't have even looked at before! But the one I ended up trying, ended up settling my chocolate craving that I have been having! Who needs a chocolate advent calender when you have homemade brownies?
Here they are all frosted and ready to eat!
Rich Chocolate Brownies (found on FoodGawker.com)
Brownie Ingredients:
~1 Cup Sugar
~2 Eggs
~1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
~1/2 Cup Butter, melted
~1/2 Cup All-Purpose Flour
~1/3 Cup Cocoa Powder (I bought mine from my local bulk store- Bulk Barn)
~1/4 tsp Baking Powder
~1/4 tsp salt
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the sugar, eggs, and vanilla. next, beat in the melted butter. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Mix well, and add gradually to the batter and once again, mix well.
2. Pour into a greased 8" X 8" square baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees, for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Now for the best part! The frosting!
Frosting Ingredients:

1. To start, combine the cocoa and melted butter. In another separate bowl, combine the warm water with the coffee and dissolve the coffee, then add it to the cocoa mixture. All that's left is to slowly stir in the powdered until is becomes a smooth, yummy looking frosting! Frost your brownies and enjoy!
