Pennylane Brownies

Dear brownies lovers,

As I promised you before, I would like  to share the famous brownie recipe taken from mbak Riana's blog. This brownie is easy to make, healthy and cheap! Yea, because it used vegetable oil and peanuts. Let's take a look at below recipe, of course with a little modification hehehe...

 

Ingredients:

4 eggs x 2
2 cups castor sugar x 2
½ tsp salt x 2
1 1/2 cups flour x 2
¾ cup cocoa powder x 2
1 tsp vanilla powder x 2
1 cup vegetable oil x 2
1 cup roasted peanuts -> 100gram x 2
½ cup chocolate chips -> 105 gram x 2
All the ingredients were multiplied by 2, because I made 2 tins.

Directions:

- Preheat the oven at 180 degree Celcius. Prepare 2 brownie tins 10x30x4cm in size, line them with baking paper, grease with margarine.

- Beat with mixer the eggs and sugar until the sugar dissolves and the batter looks pale. Add salt, beat well.

- Turn off mixer, sift the flour, cocoa powder and vanilla into the batter, fold. Add oil, stir well. Add peanuts and chocolate chips, stir well.

- Pour the batter into the tins, bake for +/- 45 minutes (in my oven). Test until inserted toothpick comes out clean.

- Cooled first before serving.

It is always yummy, never fails, and no guilty at all *maap lebay hehehe*. By the way, my brownie is over baked alias gosong *oops*, so I cut the top, but it is still yummy *iya kan iya kan hehehe*.

Melted Brownies

Dear chocolate lovers,

I always eyeing melted brownies whenever I passed The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf stall at my office basement, but I never have a chance to try it. Until suddenly Lina - my high school's friend - asked me to go to Toko Ani last Friday. Then I bought couverture chocolate to practice melted brownies recipe.

In a lazy Sunday, I try to make it. Googling the recipe and I found melted brownies Yenny Agogo seems to be the famous one, since she is the member of NCC, I believe that it would taste good. I clicked one of the so-many melted brownies recipe, and I chose camelia-at-home recipe.

Here they are.. Of course with a little modification, because I used the leftover ingredients from the kitchen.

Ingredients:

150gr sugar
100gr flour
100gr wijsman butter
125gr dark cooking chocolate
50gr minced Indonesian walnut or kacang kenari -> baked or gongseng *what is it in English?*

50gr couverture chocolate

2 eggs
1/2tsp vanilla powder

6 muffin cups

Directions:

- Heat oven to 180 degrees C.

- Melted butter and dark cooking chocolate in a hot stainless steel bowl.

- Add sugar, then beat eggs with wire wisk, stirred well.

- Add flour and vanilla, and lastly a half baked walnut. Mixed well.

- Filled muffin cup half full of dough , add 5 pieces couverture chocolate then add remaining dough. Topped with walnut.

- Baked for 30-35 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.

- It is served best while hot.

No comment for this cake... because I like it sooo muchhh...

Yummy regards,
