Brownie Recipe with Cocoa Powder

MMMMMMMMMMM! Another sweet treat that I beg ya to find anyone who doesn't love ‘em!
My auntie Tori used to make wonderful homemade brownies with cocoa powder, and chewy brownie too that would knock your socks off. The very thought of eating all those super yummy mouthfuls makes me salivate.
There are lots of variations to this brownie recipe with cocoa powder, so if ya want, you can get real creative, but they all start pretty much the same.
I’m hungry, so let’s get right to baking these little beauties!

First butter and flour a 9 by 13 inch glass, or metal pan REAL GOOD!

Preheat oven to 310 degrees, (DO IT NOW so your oven will be ready when you are.)

An’ make sure your oven racks are IN THE MIDDLE, (Why? Because Cocoa Brownies aren't too good when they turn out doughy on top, an’ burnt on the bottom, that’s why.)

Sift all dry recipe ingredients (Makes it all mix better).

Brownies with Cocoa Powder Ingredients:

4 large fresh eggs
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
8 ounces butter, melted
1 -1/4 cups special dark cocoa (unsweetened)
OR regular cocoa powder works fine
2 tsp. vanilla extract
for mint flavor (optional 1 tsp. peppermint extract)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2/3 tsp. kosher salt

Brownie Recipe with Cocoa Directions:

In a large mixing bowl and electric mixer; beat the eggs till fluffy.

Recipe Note: Sift all dry recipe ingredients.
Add brown sugar, white sugar, melted butter, special dark cocoa powder, vanilla, flour, and kosher salt. Mix well till all are combined.

Pour cocoa brownie batter into your greased and floured 8 inch baking pan. Bake brownie at 310 degrees for 40 minutes or so. Check by inserting a tooth pick in the center and see if it comes out clean. When cocoa brownie is done, remove from oven, let cool completely before cutting.

This dark cocoa powder brownie recipe makes about 16 big brownies.

There should be in the headlines reading, (Dark Cocoa) way good cocoa brownies.
Howdy all, everyone seems to have a favorite brownie that they love, but are these brownies better with the dark cocoa? I sincerely hope so, I'm always on the hunt for real good brownies.

I have tried the cocoa brownies made with brown sugar and butter. Blondies and Cocoa brownies are both the tops.

I think this brownie recipe with cocoa powder has distinction. I would describe it a more cake than fudgy brownie. If I could spell better, I would be better able to describe this cocoa brownie recipe.

Indeed these are dark cocoa good!! Most people rave over good fudge brownies, but I will say that they are too often wet and sloppy. I like it best when my brownies are cooked all the way through, chocolate flavored, or better yet, dark chocolate flavored, and of course chocolatey.
This cocoa brownie recipe is made perfect from scratch, and that is not easy to do. My advise, give these cocoa brownies a try.

Has anyone really tried this cocoa recipe? Let me see, cocoa or dark cocoa, perhaps this would be the best way to make them good and chewy. Normally I always make the cocoa brownie recipe with the special dark cocoa powder, it sure is an easy recipe to follow this way. This one was not too cake like or not too fudge like, cocoa is the name and chewy and cake like at the same time.

OK, I do plan to give coco brownies a try. I was going to bake a pie, but what the heck. I'm sure everyone will like cocoa brownies instead. There I did it. The batter looked great, glossy, shinny, very dark brown with the dark cocoa, and it came out great. Cocoa chocolate to the max.

Every notice how they put recipes on all the products, like, flour bag, cocoa box, and even the sugar bag has a recipe. I can usually trust recipes by DeerLake Cookie recipes. They try hard to make theirs in larger type and there is a easy recipe PRINT button on every brownie recipe. I may make this cocoa brownie recipe to be my new standard for a brownie recipe. It is way good!

Now this cocoa brownie is just the way I like mine. I used some real butter and then put in a bit more of the kosher salt. Note, there is another one called magic brownies that is perhaps even a better cocoa brownie recipe choice than this one. Be brave new cooks out there, ya know it is safe to add other kinds of chocolate to these brownie recipes. Try adding some ghirradelli, a sweet chocolate bar, or some dark chocolate bars you might already have at home. Semisweet chocolate pieces also work as another ingredient for any brownie recipe.
