Brownies

Supplies:

1 ½ C cake flour

¾ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

4 oz unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped

¾ c (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter or margarine, softened

1 ½ c granulated sugar

3 eggs (I prefer organic, free range)

2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

1.       Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray an 8”x2” or a 9”x2” square pan with a non-stick spray

2.       In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.  In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate: let cool slightly.  In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, vanilla and melted chocolate: mix well.  Stir in flour mixture by hand; mix until just combined.  Spread batter into the prepared pan.

3.       Bake 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out almost clean.  Cool completely on wire rack before cutting.

4.       Garnish with icing and berries as desired.
