Easy Brownies

Iman: The making was funner that the eating.

Last night I had an unplanned sleepover at Iman's. I guess my mom doesn't really mind because we know Iman's family for soo long and I guess Auntie Ilaine doesn't mind because she knows I won't create a ruckus or wreak havoc. Haha. I'm such a regular over there:)

Aki was meant to come over too and she said we have to bake a cake to commemorate her grand entrance or something. So later on when Iman asked "what should we do?"; the most obvious was "Let's bake something!"
Flipping through Cooky Book for a suitable recipe

Searched through Iman's recipies and found "United Sisters International Cuisine." Looked through some more and found Auntie Fatimah's Easy Brownies!XD
Ingredients and utensils for Easy Brownies
I don't have the recipe with me so I can't remember the exact amount for the ingredients. But we took a picture at every step!:) So here's the procedure (more or less):

Step 1: Preheat oven at 180C
Step 2: Grease the baking tray with butter

Step 3: Melt 250g of butter and dark chocolate in a pan.
As you can see, we used powder chocolate instead of the slab chocolate (because we didn't have it). Not so sure if that really made a difference as to how the real outcome was supposed to be...And this is how it turned out after a bit of mixing. You can see there are some cocoa powder spilt on the stove. Ni salah aki tak pandai tuang betul2!!! Wahahaha.

Step 4: Beat 4 eggs and add 2 tsp of vanilla essenceWell, you can't really see it then but I have the expertise of one-handedly cracking an egg!:PIman the mixer. She didn't want to use an electronic mixer because we should use our own strength and energy. Lol.

Step 5: Add the egg mixture to the choccy butter mixture.
Step 6: Add flour and castor sugar to that mixture. Also 1 tsp of salt.
Mix mix and mix. The recipe said to use walnut but we didn't have that so we added chocolate chips instead:)
Transfer the batter to the baking tray


Here's a bit of our extra personal touch. We added jelly beans (specifically coconut because that was what was left) to make a heart shape at the top:)

Only thing left was just to put it in the oven^^


While waiting for the brownies to bake, we had hot chocolate (me and aki) and Iman had orange juice. It was meant to take only 25 minutes but it turned into a whole hour because when we checked the brownies, it didn't seem like it was cooked inside- properly.

Nawal came and poked a fork inside and it was still not cooked! So we made some analysis and thought that maybe we should have used a slab of chocolate. Or maybe we put too much batter so it was super thick!


Aki's mom and Eiman was there too! So we had Eiman have the honour of cutting the cake:)
Even though we thought that it wasn't properly baked, we took it out anyway because the top was already so crusty. Lol. Well, it was edible and tasted quite okay. Even nicer was eating the brownies with ice cream!:)


I quote again from Iman Azman: The making was funner than the eating.

Thanks u guys; I had lotsa fun^^
