Basic Brownies
From: Cowboy_TD
Eat them plain, sprinkled with powdered sugar, frosted or embellished with
any of the following toppings. For more elaborate brownies, add a cup or two
of chocolate chips, or a cup of chopped maraschino cherries.
1 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup cocoa (rounded)
One and a half cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs and vanilla. Add Cocoa, then flour, salt and nuts.
Mix Well. Spread into a greased 13 x 9 pan, pushing plenty of batter into the corners so
brownies bake even. Bake at 350 degrees approximately 30 minutes. I always check the
middle with a toothpick to make sure it comes out batter free to ensure the brownies
are baked thoroughly.
BAILEYS CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE
From: Bitemebaby69
INGREDIENTS
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup Baileys Irish Cream, divided
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup boiling water
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp. Baileys Irish Cream, optional
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
ADDITIONAL
Mini chocolate chips
Chocolate sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare a 9×13 inch cake pan by greasing the sides. Preheat oven to 300°F
Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and combine.
Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, 1/2 cup of Irish cream and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix well.
Slowly pour the water into the batter, mixing well and being careful of splashing.
Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and poke holes all over. I use a knife sharpening rod, but you could also use a straw.
While the cake is still warm, add the chocolate chips to a medium sized bowl. Set aside.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and remaining 1/2 cup of Irish cream to a microwave safe measuring cup. Heat the milk and cream until they begin to boil, then pour over the chocolate chips.
Whisk the chocolate until smooth, then immediately pour over the cake, spreading it into the holes. Don’t let the mixture sit before pouring it over the cake or it’ll start to thicken and not soak in the holes as well.
Set the cake in the fridge to cool and soak.
When the cake has cooled, add the ingredients for the whipped cream topping to a large mixer bowl. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake. Top the cake with mini chocolate chips and a drizzle of chocolate sauce, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
