Let me check this out! Maybe one day I'd be inspired to make my own :) Thanks for sharing
You're welcome. It looks cool and easy I have bookmarked it to try it out, but I will like to adjust the recipe and add some ingredients 😁
That would be cool! Adding your own style to it :)
Yeah, I love doing that to some recipes I didn't develop myself. It's fun. 😁
Gm my dear friend.
Awesomeness! You're adventurous :)
Good morning to you. It's evening on my side
Thanks. Haha, adventurous in the kitchen. Now I'm thinking of how much more I can be adventurous. 😁
Oh, evening already. At times I'm amazed at the time difference in our countries. It's afternoon here.

The Secret to Perfect Fudgy Brownies
Making the perfect fudgy brownie can often feel like an elusive pursuit, but with the right tips and technique, anyone can achieve that ideal treat. This guide delivers a simple yet effective recipe for incredibly fudgy brownies that boast a beautiful crinkle top without being overwhelmingly sweet.
Prepping the Oven and Cake Tin
To kick off the baking process, preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit) with the fan on. Prepare an eight-inch square cake tin by greasing it and lining it with baking paper. While a homemade cake release works wonders, a simple layer of butter can also do the trick. This preparation ensures that the brownies will slide out effortlessly once baked.
Choosing the Right Chocolate
Part 2/7:
The heart of a great brownie lies in the chocolate. Start by chopping three-quarters of a cup (approximately 105 grams) of 50% dark chocolate into large chunks. Opting for dark or semi-sweet chocolate is key, as it balances the sweetness of the brownies and enhances the overall flavor. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped chocolate with three-quarters of a cup of all-purpose flour and half a teaspoon of salt. Mix these ingredients until well combined, then set aside for later use.
Creating the Chocolate Mixture
Part 3/7:
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine half a cup (113 grams) of unsalted butter with a quarter cup of unflavored vegetable oil, two-thirds of a cup of cocoa powder, half a cup of packed soft brown sugar, one teaspoon of coffee powder, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Although these won’t mix into a homogenous blend right away, that’s perfectly alright. Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until it is hot to the touch and completely melted. This method activates the cocoa powder and melts the sugar, which is essential for achieving the signature brownie crinkle.
Mixing the Ingredients
Part 4/7:
While the chocolate mixture cools, take another bowl to whisk together one cup of white granulated sugar and two large eggs. Utilize a hand or stand mixer to combine these ingredients on medium-high speed for about three minutes until the mixture becomes light and creamy. This process is crucial as it incorporates air, which will contribute to the fudgy texture of the brownies and support the formation of the crinkle top.
Part 5/7:
Once you have the creamy egg mixture, gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture with a spatula. It’s important to be careful here; vigorous mixing can deflate the air you just whipped into the eggs. After the chocolate mixture is incorporated, add the pre-mixed dry ingredients and again fold gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to a cake-like texture rather than the desired fudginess.
Baking the Brownies
Part 6/7:
Now that the batter is ready, pour it into the prepared cake tin. Give the tin a little shake to evenly distribute the batter, and lightly bang it to release any air bubbles trapped within. Place the tin in the oven and bake for approximately 22 to 25 minutes, depending on how fudgy you prefer your brownies. Remove them from the oven when they have a shiny top, and a toothpick inserted comes out dirty—this is crucial to maintain that fudgy consistency.
Once baked, allow the brownies to cool in the tin for about an hour. Afterward, run a thin knife around the edges to loosen them from the tin, and use the baking paper to lift them out. The aroma during this process is simply irresistible.
Final Touches
Part 7/7:
With the brownies now out of the tin, it’s time to cut them into pieces. As you slice, you’ll notice their incredible fudgy texture. Each bite promises a deep, rich flavor that balances with a subtle sweetness. It’s advisable to cut these on a chopping board to avoid any mess.
