Chocolate recipe that uses cocoa powder or unsweetened chocolate?
I want to make something chocolately, but the only ingredients I have with chocolate are cocoa powder and unsweetened chocolate baking squares. What can I bake with this? Please post recipes that you’ve tried and liked! Thanks!!
This is a recipe from one of my Mom’s old Southern Living cookbooks and THE recipe for brownies we made growing up. The glaze is wonderful but optional. For the oil in the recipe, I always use melted butter.
VIRGINIA BROWNIES
1 1/2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
8 T. cocoa
1 tsp. salt
1 c. soft shortening or 1 stick softened margarine and 1/2 c.
shortening
4 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. nuts, chopped
Combine all ingredients; stir until smooth. Spread dough in greased
9"x13" pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Fudge Frosting:
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
1/4 c. cream or whole milk
1 1/2 T. butter
Combine all ingredients in pan and bring to a rolling boil. Stir
constantly and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and beat until
mixture just starts to thicken. Pour over brownies in pan while still
warm. Cool to room temp before cutting. Be careful not to burn the
frosting. A whisk works well for stirring, and you can also do this
in the microwave.
It is cocoa powder.
Cookeryclub have a chocolate section, I once went on a chocolate cookery course with the resident chef. We did make a choc fudge cake with only cocoa – I think – but good cocoa recipes on their
