Fudgy Cocoa Brownies - made January 28, 2023 from Cafe Delites
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and hot
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/8 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 8 x 8" baking pan with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together hot melted butter, olive oil and granulated sugar until smooth and combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking to combine.
- In a small bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix to combine, stirring until glossy. Add any mix-ins if desired (I added chopped up Rolos).
- Pour into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake 20-25 minutes or until center is set and toothpick comes out with a few fudgy crumbs. Do not overbake. Remove from oven and let cool before cutting and serving.
These look dark because I used a combination of regular unsweetened cocoa powder from Costco and black cocoa powder from King Arthur Flour. Although I went with a 3:1 ratio, it seems like even a small amount of black cocoa powder turns the brownies dark enough to look like black cocoa brownies.
I'm glad I tried a new brownie recipe but I have to admit, I still prefer my go-to recipe for brownies. Maybe it was the black cocoa or maybe I needed to bake these a tad longer but these didn't have the same chewy-dense texture I prefer in my brownies. Still good and worth trying although next time I would do a different mix-in as Rolos were a bit too chewy for this brownie’s texture.
