I grew up making these brownies with my mom and have no idea where the recipe came from. I LOVE chewy brownies, but these are not of the chewy variety. They are delicious, cake-like and perfect with a glass of milk.
What you need:
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup (1 cube) margarine or butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
vanilla
3/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
dash salt
nuts (if desired)
Set oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together butter and sugar. Mix in eggs, then a splash of vanilla. Stir in Flour, baking powder and salt. Finally, mix in cocoa powder, then nuts if desired (may add these on top of icing instead).
Bake in greased 8X8 pan at 350 for 20 minutes.
Cool, then ice.
Icing:
powdered sugar (I use about 1/2 box)
cocoa powder (a few spoonfuls)
Water
Add water to get just to a pouring consistency. Pour over cooled brownies and let set. Cut and enjoy!
Cover any leftover brownies.
