Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownies

It’s been a sweet kinda life on the blog this week and quite the same at home too! Don’t you just love this time of the year? I’ve been busy with Christmas baking. Made a delicious fruit cake and these brownies for us as well as some cookie gift jars with assorted cookies –  Linzer cookies, gingerbread cookies, chocolate chip cookies and shortbread cookies. Nothing’s more perfect than to open a jar of cookies and find so much choice. Right?

Well, in all honesty, Christmas reminds me of my mom. This use to be the busiest and best time of the year for her both in term of work and financially. Being a single mother she really had to work extra hard to raise her three kids.
She used to sell Christmas cookies, sweet and treats made to order. Because she was so good at what she did; she’d have orders come in six months in advance. Growing up I watched her make buckets and buckets of treats and no matter how tired she got she always had a smile on her face. And despite all the stress and kids we bothered her – she’d respond – yes sweetheart.  Remembering her always gets me going to the kitchen to bake something. Its what makes me feel closest to her.  Christmas is the time I miss her the most.

Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownies

Let’s talk ingredients and Substitutes

  • Dark Chocolate – You know how I feel about my chocolate? If you going to bake with chocolate use the best quality chocolate you can get. Nothing is worse than to bake a beautiful recipe and realizing you didn’t take it to it ultimate luxury.
  • Sugar – The white sugar adds a bit of crisp skin on the top and the dark keeps it deliciously soft and moist.
  • Eggs – The eggs work as a leavening agent here. Notice we don’t have any baking powder or baking soda in this recipe.
  • Cocoa powder – I use Dutch processed dark cocoa powder. It’s what gives the brownies that dense dark chocolate color and texture.
  • Flour – not much but adds stability to the brownie. You can use Almond or Coconut flour if you want to make it gluten-free.
  • Coffee – 1 tsp is not much you can add more if you prefer. I prefer a subtle hint of coffee.
  • Spices – I love the combination of cinnamon or nutmeg with chocolate. They work incredibly in this recipe but you are free to omit or add your own preferred spice such as gingerbread or pumpkin spice.

    I’m in the middle of trying your brownie recipe, and I just wanted to clarify on the amount of cocoa. The recipe says 100g or 1/2 cup. But 1/2 cup of cocoa is not 100g. More like 75g. I have already sifted out the 55g of flour, so now I’m not sure whether to use the 100g measure or the 1/2 cup measure. Could you let me know which one?

    What an amazing looking dessert. Chocolate lovers would certainly be satisfied — frankly chocolate heaven!! And I understand how you feel about your mom. My mamma was the same way. She worked in a factory and then she’d come home and take care of her family. I miss her every day. Getting back to your recipe — it’s a keeper.
