Chocolate fudge brownies FAQ:
Bake the brownies at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
Yes, you can substitute cocoa powder with melted chocolate. Use about 1 ounce of unsweetened chocolate for every 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder you replace, adjusting the butter content as necessary.
Use an 8x8 inch baking pan for this recipe. This size allows the brownies to bake evenly and achieve the desired fudgy texture.
Overbaked brownies will be dry and crumbly instead of fudgy and chewy. To avoid this, keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time and remove them as soon as a toothpick shows a few moist crumbs.
Tips:
- Make sure to use high-quality ingredients, especially cocoa powder and vanilla extract, for the best flavor.
- Before mixing, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This helps in achieving a smoother batter.
- Avoid overmixing the batter once the flour is added; mix just until combined to prevent the brownies from becoming tough.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides, for easy removal of the brownies once baked.
- Check the brownies a few minutes before the recommended baking time. Insert a toothpick in the center; if it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are done. Remember, brownies continue to cook as they cool.
