Chocolate cake brownie suggestions
One great addition to the brownies is buttermilk which adds to the texture, making it even more tender. If you want to enhance the chocolate flavour, add some ground coffee to the mixture or the sauce which won’t change it to mocha flavour. Not only does the warm brownie work well with some cold ice cream, you can also serve it with whipped cream. If you’re feeling adventurous, add some custard to the bowl and indulge all you want.

minutesIngredients
2 cups 2 flour
2 cups 2 sugar
250 g 250 butter
1⁄2 cup 1⁄2 oil
1 cup 1 water
1⁄4 cup 1⁄4 cocoa
2 2 eggs (slightly beaten)
1/2 cup 1/2 buttermilk
1 tsp 1 bicarb
1 tsp 1 vanilla essence
- For the topping
2 tbsp 2 cocoa
2 tbsp 2 buttermilk
1 tsp 1 vanilla essence
500 g 500 icing sugar
Method
- Preheat your oven to 200°C.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and form a crater in the middle.
- After the butter, oil, water, and cocoa have come to the boil on the stove, remove and pour into the crater created in the dry ingredients.
- Add the eggs, buttermilk, bi-carb and vanilla essence and blend by hand until all the ingredients have been thoroughly mixed in.
- Prepare your baking tin by greasing it or by using Spray-and-cook oil. The size of the baking tin depends on you, so by using a 28 x 38 cm tin, your brownies should come out about 25 mm high. If you use a smaller tin, then the brownies should come out bigger or a larger tin and they will come out smaller and so on.
- Pour your mixed batter into the baking tin making sure it covers the whole surface of the tin.
- Pop into the oven and bake for 20 min.
- For the topping
- Prepare the topping by heating all of the ingredients on the stove, except the icing sugar. Slowly add the icing sugar about 100g at a time and mix it in. Continue with this until all the icing sugar has been added. The topping must be a pouring constituency.
- Pour the heated topping over the baked brownies while they are still hot and ensure the topping covers the whole surface of the brownies.
- Cut to the size you want. 30 x 30 mm squares you should get around 30 brownies.
Notes
- Serve with cream, custard or ice cream.
