Hello you guys today we're making my glazed cakey
brownies these are light with a cake-like
texture but with the intense chocolate
flavor of a fudge brownie personally for
me brownies always need some kind of gooyness and in these this comes from the
chocolate fudge glaze the glaze makes these brownies truly cosmic
So like most
brownie recipes we're going to start by
melting the butter and chocolate you can
do this over a double boiler or in the
microwave like I did just make sure to
give it a stir every 30 seconds now
you'll notice that cakey brownies
contain much less butter and chocolate
than fudgy brownies because we want a
lighter texture it's the amount of fat
in the butter and chocolate that really
controls the texture of brownies give
this mixture a good stir until the
chocolate is fully melted you're then
going to add the cocoa powder the
residual heat of the butter chocolate
mixture will bloom the cocoa powder
dissolving it and intensifying its
chocolate flavor add your sugar brown or
whites you can use any sugar you have on
hand and if you're new to my channel
make sure to subscribe and click that
notification bell I publish new videos
every week I've gone ahead and added the
eggs and once those are combined you can
add the dry ingredients which in this
case also contain baking powder which
will really give these brownies a
cake-like texture careful to not over
mix this batter I like to switch to a
spatula at this point and this is ready
to be poured into a baking pan buttered
floured and lined with parchment paper
you do want to lightly curry's the
parchment paper as well and you're going
to bake the brownies and a preheated
oven at 160 degrees Celsius or 320
Fahrenheit for around 18 minutes you're
going to let these cool in the pan for
five minutes and then you're going to
turn them over onto a rack while those
are cooling I'm going to show you how to
make that delicious shiny chocolate
glaze which is a must for these brownies
brownies really needs some type of
sticky gooey
texture and in this case it's going to
come from the glaze you'll need some
chocolate cut into small pieces add this
to a bowl along with some cream now this
is not your basic ganache okay and
you'll see why in just a moment
you're going to pop this in the
microwave stirring every 30 seconds
until everything is fully melted and
combined and at this point you're going
to add some honey you will not taste the
honey but it will give your brownies not
only a beautiful shine but also that
sticky element which is amazing allow
the glaze to cool and thicken slightly
and once your brownies are cool you can
pour this and spread this all over your
brownies don't worry if you have some
air pockets those will settle as the
cream spreads and for a pop of color I
personally like to top the brownies with
some sprinkles
I do also like to cut the edges in my
previous Nutella brownie video I was so
shocked to find out how many of you love
the brownie edges that was very
unexpected if you are looking for a
brownie recipe that's light but with a
deep chocolate flavor this is it
the texture of these brownies is cakey
but slightly dense like brownies and
because we added a good amount of melted
chocolate to the batter they're just as
chocolatey and delicious as fudge
brownies
