White chocolate mocha brownies
It's been months since I've baked brownies ....
And I've dreamed that I'm eating fudgy brownies last night !
In reality , my baked brownies is a tad dry , more cakey than the fudgy ones I've been eating in my dreams ! lol
Maybe because I've just added half the sugar than what the recipe calls ?
For sure it's overcooked .....
A tad scorched at the edges as well tsk tsk !
According to recipe , cook for 50 to 60 minutes !
Ha ! I've cooked mine for about 40 minutes ugh !
Oh well ! It's still wonderfully chocolaty .....
It has coffee and white chocolate , my fave combo ! ^___^
There are cashews and pecans in there as well .....
Good thing I've added that 3 extras !
Worth baking again , in less than the allotted time , 30 to 35 minutes , I think .....
Mocha brownies , recipe adapted from Martha Stewart
My modification in red
8 tablespoon / 113 grams unsalted butter , cut into pieces ( 100 grams )
1 cup flour , spooned and leveled
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 teaspoons instant espresso ( 1 1/2 tablespoon )
8 oz semi sweet or bittersweet chocolate
1 1/4 cups sugar ( scant 3/4 cup raw sugar )
3 large eggs
100 grams white chocolate chips
75 grams cashews and pecans
* Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C . Grease a 9-inch square pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper , leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides ( for easy removal ) , butter the parchment paper as well .
* In a small bowl , combine the flour , cocoa powder , baking powder and salt , whisk to combine ; set aside .
* Place chocolate and butter in a large bowl and set over a saucepan with barely simmering water , stirring occasionally until melted , about 2 to 3 minutes . Add sugar , mix to combine . Add in the eggs , mixing well . Add the flour mixture , mix until just moistened ( do not over mix ) add instant espresso . Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and bake until toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs attached , about 50 to 60 minutes ( BEWARE !!! ) . Cool in the pan for 30 minutes and transfer in the wire rack , let cool completely before cutting .

DeleteHi Anne, I'm back. No retail therapy... 2 day never do housework, hubby cloths not iron. Last night by the time I finished my chores, too late to come back here for triple tower. :)
DeleteI bring my thirst-quenchers, we drink until drunk.....LOL
I'm in love with your brownies, look so chocolatey. YUM YUM!
Have a lovely week ahead.
Anne, love how you put those extra nuts into your brownie...Mmmmmm...must be so yummy!
ReplyDeletewow the brownies look so good :) pass me some
ReplyDeleteOoh I am so interested
ReplyDeleteThese sure looks good to me! Love all the naughty nuts! I usually reduce the nuts in my bakes as my daughter is not a fan of nuts!
ReplyDeleteMoist and fantastic brownies! Irresistible!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne,
ReplyDeleteDue to your bake, I realize that the comments of this recipe at Martha Stewart did mentioned that 25-30 min is enough to bake this brownies.
You know what...you can trim off the edges and give them to me. I wouldn't mind eating them like chocolate biscotti :D
Zoe
Zoe , I should have read those comments :P :D Good thing that this recipe is worth baking for , again ! lol
DeleteAnne, I am surprised the recipe calls for such long baking. They really shd get an editor to check out their recipes!! Tsk tsk! Anyway it still looks great.... give them all to us if they're overcooked, we'll eat them for u! :P
ReplyDeleteYen , I usually read the comments back at the site for some feedback but forgotten this time :P
Deleteit still looks great. If it's a little dry, try eating that with ice cream! i'm sure you hv it at home LOL!!
ReplyDeleteLena , I should have made that coffee ice cream I'm hankering for last week ! :D
Deletei always have the problem of fudgy vs cakey brownies! mine are never, ever fudgy enough. beautiful pictures on this one!
ReplyDeleteAnne, these look absolutely delicious! Can't beat the coffee and chocolate combination in bakes.
ReplyDeleteI had a doubt that my comment hasn't gone through. hat's why I came to check. I think I have to choose my profile first and then post it.
ReplyDeleteI like my brownies with nuts.
These certainly looks super yummy to me & look at all those cashews and pecans nuts! I agreed with Baby Sumo that MS should get an editor to double check their recipes. Not only for the cooking time but certain amount of ingredients that I find way to much for baking ! LOL Well, you can always count on me to eat those tad scorched at the edges of your brownies ! I'll be there in no time! :D heheheheheehe
