Brownies

Overview

Brownie is a dessert that originated in the United States in the 19th century. The texture is between cake and biscuits, and the taste is dense and solid. The charm of brownies is that they are rich and rich with a lot of dark chocolate. In the United States, brownies are a common fixture on ordinary family dinner tables and are deeply loved by people. There are three versions of the birth of Brownie. In one version, a cook accidentally tipped melted chocolate onto a batch of cookies, which eventually led to the creation of brownies. Another version is that a cook wanted to bake a cake, but found that there was not enough flour, so he baked a dessert using the ingredients on hand to save the day. There is also a version that says that a housewife in Bangor, Maine, originally wanted to bake a chocolate cake, but forgot to add baking powder. The baked cake naturally did not rise. Instead of throwing the cake away, she cut it into small pieces for her family to eat. Although we can no longer test the authenticity of the story, we can learn from it that the brownie was originally a failure or an imperfect work, but it was unexpectedly delicious. This has to make people sigh at the wonders of the world. Sometimes good luck is more important than ingenuity. This is true of literary creation, and so is the production of delicious food. Brownies have developed to this day, and there are many types of recipes. Traditional brownies use high-gluten flour, but the brownie cake introduced to you today uses low-gluten flour, adds baking powder, and replaces the white sugar in the base material with brown sugar. Therefore, the taste is softer and smoother. The freshly baked cake has a slightly hard edge on the surface, which is very unique. If you like this taste, you can eat it directly!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Sift together low-gluten flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder and set aside.

   

2. 2 Put chocolate (100g), brown sugar and butter (100g) together and heat over water to melt.

   

3. 3 Allow to cool slightly and add the eggs one at a time, stirring evenly after each addition before adding the next egg.

   

4. 4 Add the flour in step 1 and mix evenly until there are no particles, then add in the almond slices and mix well (leave a little to sprinkle on the cake surface).

   

5. 5 Wrap the bottom of the 8-inch square mousse ring with tin foil and place it on the baking sheet. Pour the cake batter into the mold and tap the baking pan twice to release any air bubbles. Sprinkle slivered almonds on top.

   

6. 6 Place in the preheated oven, heat up and down to 165 degrees, and bake for 35 minutes. After taking it out of the oven, turn it upside down, remove it from the mold after cooling, and cut it into two pieces crosswise and set aside.

   

7. 7 Soften butter (75g) at room temperature, add powdered sugar and beat until the color becomes light and white.

   

8. 8 Add rum and mix well.

   

9. 9 Add milk and mix well.
