Barb Schaller's Famous Orgasmic Chocolate Brownies
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 cup nuts optional
1 1/3 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
In microwave oven, on medium-high power, melt butter and chocolate in
2-quart microwave-safe bowl, about 3 minutes. Stir until smooth. Mix
in granulated sugar, then beat in eggs, one at a time, with wire
whisk.
Mix in vanilla and almond. Stir in nuts. Combine cake flour, baking
powder, and salt and fold into chocolate. Spread batter in 9x13" pan
lined with baking parchment and bake in preheated oven at 350°F for
about 33-35 minutes. Do not overbake; toothpick may have fudgy crumbs
on it, but not wet batter.
Notes: First Place, Plain Brownies,
1997 Minnesota State Fair. Adapted from recipe in Cook's Illustrated
magazine, March/April 1994. Please note that I do use real
chocolate,
unsalted butter and cake flour. If you do not, don't complain to me
about it. And I don't believe the nutritional analysis at the bottom
of this page!
