A Day With My Husband | Making Rustic Wooden Lamps and the Ultimate Fudge Brownies

Описание: Some of them are probably the worst at buying groceries, changing diapers, hanging the laundry, and cleaning up after themselves, but they’re still the best company you can ask for. No matter what kind of relationship we have with our husbands, we can rely on them for a good laugh, a relaxing massage – and even the nicest furnishings. Watch how my husband makes rustic wooden lamps to light up some dark corners at home while I bake the ultimate fudge brownies for him (and the rest of the family). This is the episode for chocolate lovers, those who love making DIY rustic art pieces, and anyone who just wants to have a chill time. Enjoy!

Ingredients for the ULTIMATE FUDGE BROWNIES (this makes 24 slices in a 9x12” pan)
• 1 ¼ cups unsalted butter, softened, plus more, for greasing
• 225g or 8 oz good-quality semisweet chocolate chips, or roughly chopped dark chocolate
• 90g or ¾ cup unsweetened dutch process cocoa powder, divided
• 1 tablespoon espresso powder
• 400g or 2 cups granulated sugar
• 110g or ½ cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 6 large eggs
• 125g or 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
• Salted caramel (optional)
• sea salt and/or your preferred topping, for sprinkling

Preparation
1. Butter a dark metal pan with softened butter, then line with parchment paper. Grease the parchment with softened butter.
2. Combine the chocolate chips and/or chopped chocolate, ¼ cup (30 g) of cocoa powder, and espresso powder in a medium bowl and set aside.
3. Add the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the butter comes to a simmer, mixing the butter with a wooden spoon. Immediately pour the hot butter over the chocolate mixture and stir until the chocolate is smooth, then set aside.
4. Combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and eggs in a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes.
5. Pour in the slightly cooled chocolate and butter mixture and blend until smooth.
6. Fold in half of the chopped walnuts into the mixture.
7. Position a rack in the middle of a 350°F (180°C) pre-heated oven.
8. Sift in the flour and the remaining cocoa powder and gently fold into the mixture.
9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
10. Bake until lightly puffed on top, about 20 minutes.
11. Remove the baking pan from the oven using oven mitts or kitchen towels, then lightly drop the pan on a flat surface 1-2 times until the brownies deflate slightly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt. You can add the rest of the walnuts at this point if you want the walnuts toasted. If not, you can sprinkle these and your preferred toppings after the next step.
12. Return the pan to the oven and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the brownies comes out fudgy but the edges look cooked through, about 20 minutes more. The center of the brownies will seem under-baked, but the brownies will continue to set as they cool.
13. Set the brownies on a cooling rack and cool completely in the pan. At this point,
14. Use the parchment paper to lift the cooled brownies out of the pan. Cut into 24 bars and serve immediately.
15. Enjoy!
