easter brownie

Instead of having chocolate eggs/bars/bunny for Easter, I will have chocolate brownies. I have been pretty indecisive today, whether should I make cupcakes or brownies. I chose brownies because this is going to be the first time I make it, and it's good for a change from cupcakes! My brownies turn out to be more chocolatey than taste like a strong Kahlua, but I recommend to use less sugar if you like to put more Kahlua because Kahlua itself is sweet enough to make you go hyper! It's not too late to make this for Easter, it only takes 1 hour to prepare and bake and it's totally worth it.
Happy Easter everyone :)

Kahlua Chocolate Brownies


Makes 15

2 sticks (250ml) unsalted butter
1 cup confectioner's sugar
3/4 cup + 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Kahlua (optional or if you like to have a stronger taste of Kahlua, can add it up to 1/2 cup)

1.Preheat oven to 325°F. Line the 9x13 inch baking pan with foil.
2.Using a double boiler, bring water to boil. Melt the butter, and lower the heat to medium.
3.When the butter melts, add sugar and salt. Mix until well blended and add the cocoa powder and Kahlua, mix and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
4.Stir in vanilla extract and add eggs one at a time. When it's all well blended, add flour. Mix the batter until it's thick. If the batter is a little watery, add another 1-2 tbsp of flour.
5.Pour the batter to baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Lift up the foil from the pan and transfer to cooling rack. When it's cooled down, cut into 15 squares.
