Frosted Cake Brownies
 
Makes 18
Ingredients
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Buttermilk Chocolate Frosting (recipe follows)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 18 muffin cups with baking spray with flour.
  2. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate and butter on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until mixture is melted and smooth (about 2 minutes total). Whisk in sugars until well combined. Let cool for 5 minutes. Whisk in eggs and vanilla until well combined.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold flour mixture into chocolate mixture just until combined. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling three-fourths full.
  4. Bake until edges are set and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely in pans.
  5. Spread Buttermilk Chocolate Frosting onto brownies. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
