Sometimes, the topping makes a brownie irresistible and that’s the case for these frosted brownies. The brownie base is delicious but the rich frosting makes every bite a treat. You can make these with Dutch-process or regular cocoa, so you may already have everything you need to bake them in your kitchen.<\/p>\n
Brownies may look like snack cakes, but they’re in a baked-good league of their own. With more cocoa and less leavening than cake, brownies don’t rise very high in the pan when baking. But the result is a chewy delight that’s either fudgy or a little cakier, depending on the ratio of flour, sugar and butter. Bake a pan of these over the weekend for a few days’ worth of dessert.<\/p>\n
Melt the butter in a saucepan and remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the cocoa and then let everything cool. Meanwhile, blend the eggs and sugar until both are blended. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in another bowl and gradually add it to the egg-sugar mixture. Add the vanilla and cooled cocoa mixture until everything is well-blended.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F and grease a 13×9-inch baking pan. Bake the brownies for 25 to 28 minutes then insert a toothpick in the center of the brownies to test for doneness (be\u00a0careful not to overbake these). The toothpick should come out clean. Let the brownies cool on a wire rack.<\/p>\n In a large, clean bowl, cream the butter and confectioners sugar until they’re light and fluffy, for five to seven minutes. Beat in the cocoa and vanilla extract and then start adding milk. Keep stirring and adding more milk until the frosting is easy to spread. Once the frosting is ready, spread it over the cooled brownies and cut them into bars.<\/p>\n Store these brownies in the refrigerator because the frosting contains both butter and milk. While many butter-only buttercreams can be stored at room temperature for a short time, these brownies should not be stored on the counter, even in an airtight container. These brownies can be stored in the refrigerator for as long as two weeks when wrapped well in plastic and then placed in an airtight container.<\/p>\n You can freeze these brownies after they’ve been frosted but you need to do this in three steps because of that frosting. First, slice the brownies into bars if you haven’t already. While you could freeze a large block of uncut brownies, cutting them now means you can grab a frozen brownie or two without having to remove and defrost the entire pan. Second, place the brownies on a separate flat pan with some space in between each, and place this in the freezer. You’ll freeze the brownies for a short time, enough to harden the frosting. Then, wrap each brownie in plastic wrap and then a layer of foil. Place the packets in an airtight bag or container and store in the freezer for up to two months.<\/p>\n Yes, you can! Confectioner’s and powdered sugar aren’t quite the same because confectioner’s sugar is powdered sugar plus cornstarch. That’s an advantage when you want to dust a cake or baked good with a layer of sugar because the cornstarch stops the sugar from melting away. But in a frosting, the cornstarch doesn’t matter much, if at all. In grocery stores, you’ll often find powdered sugar has cornstarch listed as an ingredient, meaning it’s really confectioner’s sugar. But if all you have is plain powdered sugar, go ahead and use that. And if you don’t\u00a0 have that and can’t get to the store you can make your own powdered sugar<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can make this recipe with either Dutch-process cocoa<\/a> or regular cocoa. They’re the same cocoa, except Dutch-process cocoa is treated with an alkaline solution. Dutch-process cocoa gives baked goods a darker brown color and makes the flavor much smoother. If all you have is regular cocoa, you can use that, but the color of the brownies and frosting won’t be as dark brown.<\/p>\n If the butter is lightly salted, you might be able to use it here with caution. Unsalted butter<\/a> is often preferred for baked goods because it doesn’t add extra sodium, and there’s no risk of any extra saltiness peaking through the rest of the ingredients. And this frosted brownie recipe already contains salt so you don’t need more. Some brands of salted butter are noticeably more salty than others, so be aware of what you’ve got if you want to use salted butter. If it’s really salty, you might not want to use it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These Frosted Brownies have an amazing chocolate frosting that you’ll adore.

As we do not like cake-type brownies I used another recipe for the base. The frosting recipe is poorly written. It says to cream the butter and sugar together till light and fluffy--there is not NEARLY enough butter to do that, though I tried as written...what I had was pasty confectioner's sugar clumps. I did continue as directed with the cocoa, milk and vanilla and it did indeed make a nice frosting, but there are many better chocolate frostings out there, so I probably won't make this again.<\/p> <\/p> If you DO make the frosting, first try creaming the butter till light and fluffy and adding the confectioners sugar in once that has been accomplished.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2022-06-19","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Stephanie240"},"reviewBody":"I love it!!!
