Chocolate Brownie

 This is my boys favourite brownie recipe. So moist, rich and delicious I am sure your family members will love it too. 

Here is what you need for this recipe:

Brownie base
60g cold, unsalted butter
120g chocolate
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
80 g (½ cup plus 1 tablespoon) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
¼ cup oil
150 g (¾ cups) granulated sugar
50 (¼ cup) brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Ganache
100 g semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
1/3 cup heavy cream

For the brownies
Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Grease an 8 by 8-inch baking pan and line a parchment sling. 

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and the bittersweet chocolate until both are melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and add the cocoa powder and combine. Set aside and cool slightly.

In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, sugars, and vanilla. Add the slightly cooled chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth. Add the flour mixture and stir with a spatula until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake 22 to 27 minutes, until the sides of the brownies have set, the top is beginning to crackle and look glossy, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with crumbs. Let it cool completely, then place in the refrigerator and chill for an hour.

For the ganache
Place the chocolate in a small bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it is simmering and just about to boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove the plastic and whisk until completely smooth. Let cool to room temperature before using.

Cokoladne Kocke

Najdrazi recept mojim djecacima. Bogatog okusa, mekan i socan lako bi mogao postati najdrazi recept i vasim ukucanima.

Evo sta vam je potrebno:
60 gr putera 
120 gr tamne cokolade  
2 kasike kakao praha
80 grama brasna (pola solje + jedna kasika) 
1/2 kasicice praska za pecivo 
1/2 kasicice soli 
2 jaja 
1/4 solje ulja 
150 gr (3/4 solje bijelog secera)
50 grama (1/4 solje smedjeg secera)
1 kasika ekstrakta vanilije 

Cokoladni preliv: 

100 grama tamne cokolade 
1/3 solje vrhnja za slag 

Proces:
Zagrijte rernu na 180C  

Manji pleh za pecenje oblozite papirom za pecenje 

Trebat ce vam manja posuda za topljenje cokolade, jedna srednja za suhe sastojke i veca u kojoj cete na kraju sve sjediniti. 

U manjoj posudi, na srednje jakoj temperaturi, rastopite cokoladu i puter konstantno mijesajuci. Kada se rastopi dodajte dvije kasike kakaa i sve lijepo sjedinite pa sklonite s vatre da se malo prohladi. 

U posebnoj posudi pomijesajte brasno, prasak i so. 

U trecoj, velikoj zdjeli umutite jaja, pa dodajte secer smedji i bijeli, potom ulje i aromu vanilije. Nakon toga dodamo rastopljenu cokoladu i puter.
​
Sve dobro umutite i odlozite mikser. Brasno umijesajte drvenom kasikom. Ako budete mijesali mikserom nece biti mekano i izdasno. 

Izlijte tijesto u manji kalup za pecenje i pecite 22-27 minuta. Na povrsini ce se stvoriti glatki, sjajni sloj. 

Na 22 minuti provjerite cackalicom da li je kolac pecen. Na cackalici trebaju ostati mrvice. Kolac ne smijete prepeci. 

Izvadite i ohladite prije nego prelijete cokoladom. Brauni je divan i bez dodatnog sloja cokolade, a ako ga ipak zelite, onda ga spremite ovako: 

Zagrijte vrhnje za slag na laganoj vatri. Ne treba da prokljuca ali se treba ugrijati skoro do vrijenja. Mijesajte da ne prigori. Sklonite s vatre i dodajte izlomljenu cokoladu. Poklopite i ostavite 5 minuta pa onda izmijesajte. 

Kada se prohladi i stisne, prelijte preko braunija.
