Cake Flour Brownie Recipe
Description
The Cake Flour Brownie Recipe uses cake flour, baking powder, and salt combined with finely chopped unsweetened chocolate and butter melted together in a double boiler. This gives a delicate, tender crumb rather than the chewiness typical of some brownies. The sugar and eggs are whisked into the melted chocolate mixture to incorporate air and structure before folding in the dry ingredients. Spreading the batter evenly in a foil-lined pan with oil spray helps the brownies bake evenly, while sprinkling chopped walnuts on top offers texture contrasts. Baking at 325°F for about 33 to 35 minutes produces brownies with a slightly firm edge and softer center.
The walnuts provide a nutty crunch that pairs well with the fudgy yet cakey brownie base. This brownie recipe is suitable whenever you want a rich chocolate dessert that’s not too dense, versatile for casual snacking or occasions. Cooling completely before slicing allows for cleaner pieces.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups cake flour 5 oz.
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 6 oz. unsweetened chocolate chopped fine
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 1/2 sticks - 6 oz, cut into 6 pieces
- 2 1/4 cups sugar 15 3/4 oz.
- 4 egg at room temperature, large
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnuts 4 oz, chopped
Instructions
- Place the oven rack in the middle position and heat the oven to 325 F degrees. Line a 13X9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray it with vegetable oil spray.
- Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.
- Using the bain-marie double boiler method (place a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water), melt the chocolate and butter. Stir it occasionally, until it becomes smooth.
- Off the heat, transfer the now-melted chocolate to a large glass bowl. Whisk in the sugar into the chocolate-butter mixture in three batches. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition, until they are thoroughly combined. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
- Fold in the flour mixture in three additions, until it is completely smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Using a spatula, spread it evenly and into the corners. Sprinkle it with walnuts.
- Bake it for 33 to 35 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack for an hour before cutting it into small squares.
- Serve it with vanilla ice cream or with a cup of cold milk.
