Nescau brownie

preparation mode

• Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a square or rectangular mold with butter or use parchment paper to line the bottom of the mold.
• In a large bowl, mix sugar and melted butter (or vegetable oil) until smooth.
• Add the Nescau (or other chocolate powder) to the sugar and butter mixture, stirring well until all the ingredients are incorporated.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after adding each one.
• Add the vanilla essence and mix until smooth.
• Then add the sifted wheat flour and salt to the liquid mixture and stir until the brownie batter is well combined.
• If you like, add the chopped walnuts or chestnuts to the dough and mix to distribute them evenly.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist (not liquid) crumbs. Remember not to overbake, as brownies are best when moist and fudgy.
• Remove from the oven and let the brownie cool in the tin for a few minutes before cutting it into squares.
• Serve the Nescau brownies still warm or at room temperature, accompanied by a scoop of ice cream of your choice, if desired.
