Walnut Brownie

I feel like a newbie all over again. I've not updated this blog for more than 2 years now. Its just that my schedule has become pretty hectic now. But I've made a promise to myself to update atleast 1 post per week.

In this post, I'm sharing my Walnut Brownie recipe with you. Its the most amazing recipe I have and I have always received overwhelming response from all my customers for this one. Since its New Years, I decided to make Walnut Brownies instead of the regular cakes or cookies.

Ingredients:
80 gms cooking butter,
150 gms dark cooking chocolate, broken into pieces,
3 eggs,
120 gms castor sugar,
1 tsp vanilla essence,
80 gms flour,
20 gms cocoa powder,
1/2 tsp baking powder,
1/4 cup roasted walnuts, coarsely chopped,

Method:
1.) Preheat the oven to 175 degrees, for 10 mins.
2.) Grease a baking tin ( 9 x 9 inch) with butter and line with butter paper.
3.) Stir the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over a bowl of boiling water till melted. Set aside to cool a little.
4.) Beat the eggs together with the sugar. Add the vanilla essence and continue to beat until fluffy.
5.) Sieve the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
6.) Mix the melted chocolate mixture with the beaten eggs and sugar till evenly blended.
7.) Fold in the flour mixture slowly.
8.) Add half of the chopped walnuts and mix well.
9.) Pour into the greased and lined baking tin. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts and bake till the knife comes out clean.
10.) Cool and cut into squares.

This can be served as is or with vanilla ice-cream and lots of chocolate sauce drizzled over it. Either ways it tastes yum.

I also have a photo blog to my credit. You can check out some pics that I have put up there.

Happy New Year!
