Eggless Chocolate Brownie

This was a part of my anniversary gift to my hubby dear. Original recipe is from Jyotibabel's blog, I added milk instead of water..and I am thrilled with the consistency, texture & taste of my brownie. 

Ingredients:

Maida/ All purpose flour- 1 cup

Cocoa Powder- 1/4 cup

Sugar- 1 cu

Butter (unsalted)- 1/2 cup minus 2 tbsp

Baking powder- 2 tsp

Salt- 1/2 tsp

Curd- 1/2 cup +2 tbsp

Milk- 3 tbsp

Chocolate chip- Handful

Vanilla essence- 1 tsp

Walnuts- optional

Method:

1. Preheat the microwave at 160C.

2. Sieve the maida, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt together.

3. In a separate bowl whisk together butter, curd and vanilla till the butter is soft and blends with the curd.

4. Add the maida mix to the butter curd mix. Add 1 tbsp milk at a time until you reach the thick flowy consistency. 

5. Add the chocolate chips & Walnuts at this stage. I didnt have walnuts at home so added only the chocolate chips.

6. Prepare your baking tin by applying some oiling and dusting it with maida.

7. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared tin and bake it for 30-35 minutes at 160C. 

8. Check your brownie at 25 mins & 30 mins by inserting a skewer. Once the skewer comes out clean your brownie is ready to be pulled out.

9. Let it cool down at least for for a few minutes and move the brownie to a wire rack

10. Slice it up and it is ready to eat as it is, or you could do some simple chocolate frosting or have it with a scoop of icecream. I prepared some chocolate frosting for my brownie :)

Note: this does not rise up like other cakes..so dont keep waiting for it to rise and burn up your brownie ;-)

This was a midnight surprise I gifted along with my home made ginger wine to my husband on our 13th anniversary :) And he's loved every bit of it...
