Today I propose to mentally visit the other side of the world and bake a real American chocolate brownie. This is a delicious dessert that came to us from North America. Small chocolate cakes with a wet filling have become loved and popular in our country by many. In general, the US cuisine is utilitarian and simple, although behind it there is a huge culture of our time. The history of brownies is a history of culinary oversights, at least that's what the legend says, according to which an absent-minded pastry chef wanted to bake a biscuit and added liquid chocolate to the dough by mistake.
This is how a real brownie turned out - a viscous chocolate consistency, ground walnuts, an amazing aroma of vanilla and chocolate. Initially, it is baked like a cake or muffin, flat and dense, and when served it is cut into small square pieces. Although there are many recipes for such sweetness and they are all very different. There are recipes with cranberries, curd cheese, cherries - choose any. Well, today we will make the most delicious brownie with walnuts. It will appeal to both children and adults. Light, breathtakingly smells like chocolate, viscous filling, dry crust on the outside.

How to make a chocolate brownie step by step
1. Break the chocolate into pieces, place in a bowl and melt. But don't bring it to a boil, or it will taste bitter. Then add room temperature butter to it.
2. Whisk the chocolate with the butter until the butter is completely dissolved. From the hot temperature of the chocolate, the butter will melt and melt well.
3. Pour the sifted flour into the chocolate mass through a fine sieve.
4. Knead the dough well, breaking all the lumps. Its consistency will be slightly thick.
5. Peel the walnuts, prick in a frying pan and add to the dough.
6. Beat eggs into a deep, clean and dry container and add sugar.
7. Beat the eggs with a mixer until stiff, lemon-colored foam. Their volume should double.
8. Add the beaten eggs to the chocolate dough.
9. Knead the dough until smooth and smooth. Its consistency should become more fluid.
10. Line a baking dish with parchment paper or butter and pour the dough into it.
11. Send the cake to a preheated oven at 180 ° C for 10 minutes. The main thing here is not to overexpose the brownie, so that inside it remains soft and viscous. Although, if you bake it for longer, then you will get an equally delicious cake.
Remove the finished product from the mold while hot, sprinkle with powdered sugar, cut into squares (this is how real brownie is served) and serve.
