Hi

I was wondering if anyone had a tried and true receipe for brownies using cocoa powder. I bought some unsweetned cocoa powder and would love to make brownies but cant find a great receipe.

I have two. Hold on just a sec while I get the cookbook out.

Fudge Brownies
1 c margarine or butter melted
2 c sugar
1/2 c cocoa
4 eggs
1 c flour
1 c chopped nuts, if you want

In a bol mix melted butter, sugar and cocoa. Add eggs, mix well. Add nuts if desired. Grease a 9x13 pan, pour in batter. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until brownies test done with wooden toothpick.

Brownies
1/4 c. cocoa
1 c flour
1 c sugar
pinch salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 stick butter or margarine, melted
1 t vanilla
1 egg

mix dry ingredients in bowl. Add butter and and vanilla. Stir, then add egg.
Spread into a greased 8x8 inch pan and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Makes nine brownies.

The first recipe is fudgey, the second cakelike brownies. You can double the second and use a 9x13 pan. Probably need to add a few minutes baking time.
We all love these brownies, even me, and I am not a huge brownie fan.
