Brownies with Walnuts © kvalifood.com

Brownies basically just is another variation of a pound cake. It has a bit more sugar. Some of the flour replaced with nuts, it has a bit less baking powder and added cocoa. But these small changes are enough to make the brownie a cake of its own. It is dense and heavy, more confetionery than cake. Sweet and strong. Lovely!

Ingredients

the dry

100 g flour
1 tsp baking powder
200 g walnuts, coarsely chopped
4 tbsp cocoa (just over ½ dl)
salt, a dash

the wet

350 g sugar (yes sugar is wet in this context.)
200 g butter
4 eggs, medium

Directions

Heat the oven to 170°C (314°F).

Mix the wet ingredients.

Mix the dry ingredients.

Mit the wet and dry ingredient in the larger bowl.

Put the dough into a large roasting pan. The dough should be about. 1-2 cm (½-1 inch) in height before baking.

Bake for 20-30 minutes at 170°C (314°F.. Depending on the height of the dough. A thicker layer of dough needs to bake for longer.

If you are in doubt you can just use a meat pin or a knitting needle to test if it is enough.

Notes

Some like their brownies a bit thicker. That makes them softer, and more chewy in the center. If that is the case for you, you should just use a smaller baking pan and bake for a bit shorter.
