Brownie Night

The Super Chef Elder Buck
Just last night, I, yes, the great Elder Buck, became a SUPER CHEF and decided to make one of my favorites with the family Cabanillas (Pronounced Cab-uh-knee-yuz). That's right, my mom's Recipe for her amazing Brownies. It was great. You shall see what it takes to create such a delightful dessert such as this.

Step one - melt butter and vegetable oil

.

.

.

The first step is very simple. Melt the 200 grams of butter and the 50 grams of Vegetable Oil/Lard. Don't worry, I don't use animal fat in my cooking, I use vegetable oil, 100% NOT ANIMAL. So for those animal rights people, don't worry...

Step 2 - add cocoa

.

.

The next step is also quite simple. 50 grams of cocoa, or in other words, a half a cup. That's right, 50 grams is the same as half a cup, which means 1 cup is 100 grams. Imagine! Anyway, as you can see I'm dumping in the cocoa.

step 3 - add sugar

Then, the next thing you want to do is add WHITE SUGAR(Highlight that blank white space). Uh huh, 2 cups of it. Okay, do your math, and Yep, that's 200 grams of sugar as well. Here I am dumping in the sugar. Oh how sweet!


Step Four - Eggs

If you know ANYTHING at all about cooking, you will guess what's coming next. Yep, the Eggs.

It gives a great texture to any meal, and sure helps dissolve that sugar a lot easier. Don't ask me why, I think it's the watery egg white that does it. Anyway, 4 eggs one by one without shells and Boom, done.

step five - flour!
Okay my fellow chefs, or is it cheves... j/k. Anyway, you know what is missing, right? THE FLOUR!!! Yep, one and a half cups (do the math...) or 150 grams of flour. The kind that is all ready to cook with. No yeast stuff needed. In peru you can buy it prepared or not prepared. But that's not the question. The answer is I needed prepared flour, so that's what I used.

Step six - MIX! (hey that rhymes)

.
.

"Don't eat that! There are raw Eggs in there!" I'm quoting that because surely any mom would tell you, exactly like that, to not eat it.

.


Step Seven - Oven Heaven
The next part is the easiest part. If you did not eat all your mixture, you dumped it into the greased pan and placed it into the oven at 180º Celsius (About 350º Farenheit) and waited a looooong 30 minutes. And Longer if you don't know how to control the oven's temperature... Not to mean I did... or anything like that...


Step Eight - Lookin' great!The next part is a little difficult. Usually it's easy, but since there was no rectangular pan to cook with, we used a regular cake mold. Well, I was able to cut Every piece to look almost like a square. Can you imagine? It's true. I cut square shapes out of a round mold.


Step Nine - That's not Wine!
For those who are daring to try new things, add a spoonful of GIN on top of your brownie, for some real kick. Just a joke, come on! I do not recommend doing that to anyone. So if you took me seriously, I'm sorry. Anyway, you do NOT want gin.








Enjoy the Brownie!
After all the fun of baking is over, you get the great opportunity to enjoy the brownie with the whole family. How cuuuuute.

I actually DID make this wonderful dessert. What a surprise, no? I hope you enjoyed the post.
