Cocoa Brownies

And the brownies quest goes on and on.... ;p
Kali ini saya penasaran pengen mencoba best cocoa brownies dari blognya madame Patricia. Tapi saya ingat masih punya sisa homemade sour cream di kulkas yang sudah hampir seminggu tersimpan. Akhirnya, saya coba combine resep tadi sama resep cocoa brownies nya madame Stephanie dari Joy of Baking (JoB). Ingredients yang dipakai sama persis sampe takarannya, kecuali 2 bahan. Resepnya JoB pakai sour cream dan seuprit baking powder di adonannya. Awalnya saya takut brownies nanti jadi cakey karena penambahan baking powder ini meski sedikit. Tapi ternyata ngga lho..
Cocoa Brownies
Adapted from here and here
10 tablespoons (140g/1 ¼ sticks) unsalted butter
1 ¼ (250g) cups sugar - I used vanilla sugar
¾ cup + 2 tablespoons (80g) unsweetened cocoa powder (natural or Dutch-process)
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cold large eggs
½ cup (70g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (60 ml) sour cream
1/4 tsp baking powder
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F. Line the bottom and sides of a 20cm (8in) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides.
In a medium heatproof bowl, add the butter and set on top of a large sauce pan with barely simmering water. Melt the butter, then add sugar and salt, and stir until well combined. Next add the cocoa powder and stir until mixture is smooth and hot enough that you want to remove your finger fairly quickly after dipping it in to test. Remove the bowl from the skillet and set aside briefly until the mixture is only warm, not hot.
Stir in the vanilla with a wooden spoon. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously after each one. When the batter looks thick, shiny, and well blended, add the flour and stir until you cannot see it any longer, then beat vigorously for 40 strokes with the wooden spoon or a rubber spatula. Spread evenly in the lined pan.
Bake until a toothpick plunged into the center emerges slightly moist with batter, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.
Lift up the ends of the parchment or foil liner, and transfer the brownies to a cutting board. Cut into 16 or 25 squares.
Lihat aja tuh, bagian dalamnya super moist, slightly wet..just perfect! Kayana chewy brownies kesukaan saya juga kalah nih. Hihihi.. Kak Aisyah sekali makan ga cukup satu.. kuraaang :D Hasna pun ikutan karena ngiler.
