Cake Flour Brownie Recipe
This Cake Flour Brownie Recipe yields a tender, cakey brownie with a rich chocolate flavor. Using cake flour instead of all-purpose flour gives the brownies a softer crumb, balanced by the deep, smooth texture from melted unsweetened chocolate and butter. Chopped walnuts add a contrasting crunch, while a moderate baking temperature ensures even cooking without over-drying. These brownies make a good treat when you want something less dense than fudge brownies but still flavorful and satisfying.

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.
