FUDGY BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC. Grease and flour a 8 x 8 baking dish; set aside
• BATTER:
• In a mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt; whisk until very well blended and set aside.
• In another bowl, combine beaten eggs and melted butter, whisking constantly. To this, add brown sugar, vanilla sugar and vanilla extract; stir until combined.
• Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and also some chopped walnuts if using; stir well to blend.
• Transfer batter to the prepared baking dish and level it out using a spatula. Gently tap the dish on the counter to compact the batter and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool off.
• ICING:
• Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine sifted icing sugar, sifted cocoa powder, melted butter, corn syrup and pure vanilla extract.
• While blending the ingredients, pour in some heavy cream a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
• When the cake is cool enough but still slightly warm which makes it easier to do, add the icing and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
