These cute little mini brownie cupcakes are perfect for tea party or any special occasion. Enjoy these two-bite sized brownies as a snack or pair them with scooped vanilla ice cream and you have a perfect mini dessert.
Brownies again!! Isn’t that amazing that with one recipe you can make so many varieties. Brownies with white chocolate, with dark chocolate, caramel, cream cheese… and so many others endless possibilities. This one is just plain brownie, more cakey version. If you would rather make the soft gooey version, here is the link for the recipe of gooye version of brownies.
So my previous post was about the gooey version of brownies, which I prefer, but sometimes I need to make a base for a chocolate cake and some people like it more than a cakey version, so I’ve decided to post this cakey version. This version is very light chocolatey taste, where you still have the strong taste of chocolate. We will use real chocolate in this version, I will not substitute the chocolate with cocoa in powder. Even though it is absolutely doable, this version of brownies contains plenty of chocolate.
I am using this recipe for a base of Black Forest cake, it is just such a perfect match with the whipping cream. The softness of the sponge cake compliments amazingly the cherry jam and whipped cream.
