It was a Brownie Sundae kinda day
Yesterday was a Brownie Sundae day…you know when you are just in that mood and all you want it a nice fudgy brownie supporting some yummy, creamy ice cream and fluffy whipped cream. Who knows why I was in such a mood, just having one of those days where my hormones were out of wack. But this dessert helped my disposition a bit. It’s easy to throw together, requires only one bowl and it’s cheap to make. Taken from one of my new favorite Food TV stars, Dave Leiberman.
Easy Chocolate Brownies
12 tablespoons of melted butter (1 1/2 sticks)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons of water
1/2 teaspoons of vanilla
1/2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all purpose flour
(I threw in half a bag of semi sweet chocolate chips just for good measure, could also chop up some candy bars to fold in)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Grease a 9×13 inch cake pan. Beat butter and sugar together until just blended. Add eggs one at a time, stir in vanilla and water. Mix in the rest of the dry ingredients until just blended. Fold in any chocolate additions.
3. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes until the center is set and the edges look crusty. Cool a bit before you dig in

Jen–I think hormones being out of wack describes just about EVERY day for me…and yes, I know the kind of healing that a chocolatey baked good can bring! I watch Dave Lieberman, but I’ve never made any of his recipes. I think it’s kinda cool that he learned to cook from his dad, who was a stay-at-home dad…
