"Hola Food Lovers!"
                             ******Dedicating this first blog to my hubby******
 The acronym for "Heaven" in food definitely has to be "Chocolate" , and what more can be better than a simple Chocolate Fudge Brownie. I made this for my husband's birthday and it came out simply delightful :)


To start with, get to the nearest store and pick the following

This is what you want : 
  1. 110 g plain flour
  2. 175 g cooking chocolate
  3. 150 g butter
  4. 300 g brown sugar 
  5. 1 tsp baking powder
  6. 3 eggs
  7. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  8. 3 tbsp Walnut and Chocolate Chips(Optional)
  9. Belgian chocolate sauce ( Optional)
  10. Vanilla ice cream ( Optional)
This is how you do : 


1. Grease the baking tin with some butter and keep the tin ready.
2. Preheat the oven in 180 C for 10 Min.
3. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a saucepan by double boiler method(Get to the bottom for reference)* and allow it to cool for some time.

Double Boiler Method :
This is the method to use for melting chocolates for the cakes. Heat a saucepan or kadai and add some water. Cover it with a heat proof bowl and make sure it does not touch the water in the kadai below. Add the chocolate and butter to be melted in the heat proof bowl and simmer the whole set up for 10 Min.
