CHOCOLATE BROWNIES


© Marna Gatlin

The winner of our Chocolate by Death contest was none other than Sabrina Mohaje from New York City, NY. Her winning entry came in while I was in Florida on vacation. Our kitchen tried each and every recipe we received that was posted, or sent to my email address. Man, we were in chocolate heaven!

So thank you all SO much for participating!

She found this recipe in Bon Appetit and passed it on:

These are probably the fudgiest brownies I ever tried. In fact, they are too rich to serve in giant squares, so we've cut them smaller. They taste even better the day after they're baked, crisp on the outside, and moist on the inside.

3 sticks unsalted butter, cut into pieces
12 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
6 large eggs
1 1/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
3 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 13- by 9- by 2-inch metal baking pan, knocking out excess flour. Melt butter with chocolate in a large metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove bowl from pan and whisk in eggs, 1 at a time. Sift together flour and cocoa powder in a separate bowl and stir into batter with sugar and salt. Pour batter into pan and bake in middle of oven until top is firm and a tester inserted into center comes out with crumbs adhering, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack, about 2 hours, before cutting into 20 squares.

Makes about 20 squares.
