Brownie Ingredients
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. I much prefer to use Dutch Process Cocoa Powder instead of natural cocoa powder. The Dutch process has had the acidity removed and creates a smoother, richer, chocolate flavor. You must be careful not to use natural cocoa powder when the recipe calls for Dutch process as the acidity that has been removed from the dutch process cocoa powder affects the rest of the ingredients, i.e. the leavening agents. I use Bensdorp Dutch Cocoa Powder or Rodelle Dutch Cocoa Powder.
- All-Purpose Flour. Also known as plain flour. I cannot stress enough how critical it is that you measure your flour properly, too much or too little flour can drastically affect the cake.
- Sugar. I normally just use granulated sugar, aka white sugar. But some recipes will call for light brown sugar or dark brown sugar.
- Chemical Leavening Agents. Baking soda and baking powder are often both used to create a cake with the perfect rise. The baking soda will need to be activated by the acidity in another ingredient, often sour cream or buttermilk.
- Salt. Salt enhances all of the other ingredients' flavor profiles, don't skip it!
- Large Eggs. Your eggs should be at room temperature so they can evenly incorporate with the rest of the ingredients. You can do this quickly by placing the eggs in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes before using them.
- Pure Vanilla Extract. Vanilla pairs beautifully with chocolate.
- Vegetable Oil. While in a butter or vanilla cake, you might want to use butter for the flavor, in a chocolate cake you wouldn't taste the butter anyway so oil creates an incredibly moist and tender cake.
How do I get the shiny and crackly top on my brownies?
Cooking the sugar with the butter so that the sugar disintegrates is important. And also, stirring in some chocolate chips/chunks at the end. You end up with a gorgeous crinkly shiny crust and you find swirls and chunks of chocolate inside the brownies. The more you mix the chocolate chunks in the warm brownie batter the more will be melted and not left chunky. If you want chocolate chunk filled brownies with lots of chunks I add some chunks once the batter is poured into the prepared pan and just poke them down a bit into the brownie batter.
Most importantly when making the brownies do not over mix. I believe one of the branded brownie box mixes actually tells you the number of times you should mix the batter! Over mixing ruins brownies!
