Where to find ingredients
You can find these essentials at any local supermarket or general grocer. Dark chocolate, butter, sugar, flour, eggs, and baking powder are staples in the baking aisle. For walnuts, check the nuts and dried fruit section; if not available pre-chopped, raw whole walnuts can be found in the produce or snacking section. Vanilla extract is commonly stocked in the baking supplies or spice aisle of any grocery shop.
Preparation method
- Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave, then let it cool slightly
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and walnuts together in a bowl and set aside
- Cream the butter with the vanilla extract until you have a smooth, pale mixture
- Gradually add the sugar to the creamed butter and keep beating
- Incorporate the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition
- Fold the melted chocolate into the batter until well combined
- Gently stir in the dry ingredients you set aside earlier
- Spread the batter evenly into a greased and lightly floured baking tin
- Bake in a moderate oven until the top is set but the center remains moist
- Score the brownies into squares while they are still warm
- Allow them to cool down completely before lifting out of the tin to serve
Observations
This recipe yields the traditional Brazilian-style brownie, striking a perfect balance between sweet sugar and intense cocoa. The secret to that iconic fudgy texture is creaming the butter thoroughly with the initial ingredients before adding the rest.
