Chocolate Brownies

Hope you had a fabulous Mother's Day celebration... being pampered by loved ones... and wouldn't it be nice if every weekend is Mother's Day?

My 'Mother's Day' started quite late-ish... as the person who was planning to make me breakfast in bed ... was still in her 'slumberland'.

I am an early riser...  would usually be awake by 5 am ... and last Sunday, I was staring at the ceiling... blinking away... I even managed to web browse under the duvet... as not to disturb Mr H and to pass the time...  Alas... my eyes were strained to the  max.. squinting away at the teeny-weeny screen ...

 I decided to get up and go to the study and switched on my computer, lo and behold, the minute I plonked my bum onto the chair... she walked in.
Obviously "someone" was not happy!!... but not for very long... with a promise that I would not step foot into the kitchen... and would get back into bed... the minute she started with breakfast... she was all smile and chirpy again...


While Mr H was cooking... his version of 'Pan Mee' for lunch... (next post... maybe... when he has decipher his recipe code for me to read and type!!), Miss E busied herself preparing to bake Chocolate Brownies... for tea-time... with lesser sugar and instead of using white chocolate chips ... she scattered lots of chocolate milk chunks...


Recipe (from the Nestle Baking Cocoa)
150g butter
1 cup baking cocoa
4 eggs - lightly beaten
1 1/2 cup raw sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 bar of cooking milk chocolate - break into chunks
Optional ~ some cooking white chocolate - melted
  1. Pre heat the oven to 160C. Line baking tray 20cm x20cm with greasedproof paper.
  2. Melt butter in microwave for 30 seconds or more. Stir in baking cocoa. Leave it to cool slightly.
  3. Mix in eggs, sugar and vanilla. Add in sifted flour and baking powder into the mixture. Mix well.
  4. Pour half of the mixture onto the prepared tray.
  5. Scatter the chunky milk chocolate.
  6. Pour in the remaining batter.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until skewer comes out clean.
  8. Leave it the pan for 20 minutes before cutting the brownies into square.
  9. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over.
