Of chocolate that is!!! I just found out about black cocoa powder!! This stuff is sinful!! Its a super Dutch processed cocoa powder that is black as night!! Makes all your chocolate goodies come out super rich and dark, just the way I like it!! These brownies are so good, its kind of hard to describe the flavor, its rich and strong, so much so that you use it with regular cocoa powder in your recipes. I absolutely love the color!
I found the stuff at king Arthur Flour web site, if you haven't been there, go! But when your done reading my blog!! They have tons of recipes on the blog.
Salted Black Cocoa Brownies
makes one 9 x 13" brownie or two 8" brownies
salted butter, for greasing the pan
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/3 cup black cocoa powder
2/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 tspn baking powder
1 tspn salt
4 eggs
2/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 tspn vanilla extract
coarse sea salt
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using the salted butter, grease the bottom and sides of the pan(s). Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powders, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine the wet ingredients with the prepared dry ingredients, folding until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated. Batter will be very thick and difficult to stir.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pans, smoothing the tops. Sprinkle liberally with coarse sea salt.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes if using a 9 x 13" pan and for 25-30 minutes if using two 8" pans. Be careful not to over-bake.
7. Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool completely before removing from pans and cutting. (This part is the most difficult--resisting until they are all cool!)
