Scratch cake recipe to make brownies out of it
Last Updated on
A cake made from scratch always tastes better. The same can be said for brownies. This delicious, chocolatey dessert can be made even better by using a scratch cake recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
The granulated sugar will give the brownies a lovely, crisp crust.
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Make sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder for the best flavor.
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
Whisk in cooled butter, then stir in flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Where you can use it:
You can use this recipe to make brownies for any occasion. They would be perfect for a birthday party, potluck, or even just a casual get-together with friends.
Tips:
Be sure to cool the brownies completely before cutting into them. This will help them to keep their shape and not crumble apart. If you want to get really creative, you could even frost them with your favorite icing or topping
