Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9-inch round baking pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a heatproof bowl, combine the 3/4 cup dark chocolate and 2 tsp butter. Melt them together using a microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each increment, until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler for this step. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs and 3/4 cup sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling. Add the 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, sift together the 1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour, 2 tbsp dry cocoa powder, and 1 dash of salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to ensure a tender brownie cake.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownie cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream and 2 tbsp honey. Heat until the mixture just begins to simmer, then remove from the heat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, sift 1 cup powdered sugar. Gradually add the warm cream mixture to the powdered sugar, whisking until smooth.
- If the frosting is too thick, add the 1 tbsp water, a little at a time, until you reach a spreadable consistency.
- Once the brownie cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top using an offset spatula or a knife.
- Slice the brownie cake into wedges and serve. Enjoy your decadent brownie cake with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream!
Tips:
- Ensure that you measure your ingredients accurately to achieve the best results.
- Melt the chocolate and butter slowly over low heat to prevent the chocolate from burning.
- When folding the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, do so gently to maintain a light and airy texture.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Allow the Brownie Cake to cool completely before adding the topping to ensure that it sets properly.
- For an extra bit of indulgence, consider adding nuts or chocolate chips to the brownie mixture.
