How To Make Delectable Brownies In A Snap
A great way to end any meal is by having a mouth-watering dessert. But if you got a hectic schedule, it’s important that you can whip up a dessert in a snap. Luckily for you, there’s a fast and easy way to create brownies! The following is a very simple way to bake this chocolate dessert your family will surely love.
You will need 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 medium egg, 1 stick of butter and a pack of instant cake mix. You will also need 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and 1 cup of peanuts that are chopped coarsely. A large mixing bowl, medium sized microwave-safe square cake pans, electric beaters and a large spoon are the tools you need.
What makes this recipe even easier to make is you will only need a countertop microwave oven for baking the brownies. The first step is to melt the butter, of course using the microwave. In a bowl, slice it into little pieces and heat for 5 to 10 seconds. Take it out, stir, and repeat until it has melted thoroughly. Don’t forget to cover the bowl with a kitchen towel while heating!
Put the melted butter into a large mixing bowl. Add the cake mix, brown sugar, cocoa powder and egg. Mix them all with the use of electric beaters for 1 to 2 minutes. It should turn into the consistency of a thick cake batter. Add the peanuts and blend into the mixture using only a baking spoon.
With a cooking spray, grease the pan then carefully transfer the mixture into it with the help of a large spoon. Simply follow the microwaving instructions printed at the back of the packaging of the cake mix. If your microwave oven doesn’t have a turntable, rotate the cake pan every 2-3 minutes for even baking of all sides of the cake.
Testing if it’s done is very easy. Insert a skewer or toothpick right in the center of the brownies. Pull it out and check if something is clinging on it. If there’s none, it means that the chocolate dessert is done. Take it out of the oven and let cool thoroughly before slicing into squares. You may also place it on a cooling rack for a shorter cooling time.
If you want, you can use round cake pans to make a delectable chocolate cake using the same recipe. Simply put a large plate on top of the pan, and turn it upside down to release the sumptuous treat. Cover it in ready-made chocolate or vanilla flavored frosting. You can decorate it with marshmallows, chopped up chocolate chip cookies and others.
