Preheat oven to 190ºC.

Butter and line a baking tray 23 x 23 cm and 2.5 cm deep. If you like, you can line a baking tray with foil.

Melt butter or margarine in a small saucepan over low heat. The butter will take about 1-2 minutes to melt and will be quicker if you cook it at room temperature. While waiting for the butter to melt, complete the next two steps.

Mix the sugar and eggs in a bowl. Pour the sugar and eggs into a medium bowl and beat until well combined. This step will take about 1 minute. You can use a wooden spoon, whisk or electric mixer to mix the ingredients together.

Pour flour and cocoa powder into separate bowls. Pour these two ingredients into separate bowls and mix well.

Pour melted butter into the egg and sugar mixture. Then, stir until the butter is evenly combined and forms a smooth, light yellow, greasy mixture.

Slowly sift the cocoa powder mixture into the egg mixture. Pour the cocoa powder into the sieve and shake gently to let the cocoa fall into the egg mixture. You can use a fork to scrape the bottom of the sieve to make it easier to sift.

Add the socpa crumbs to the mixture. Now, mix the socpa crumbs with the rest of the ingredients. You can use regular socpa crumbs or pretty little socpa crumbs if you like. Or if you want to try something new, you can use white socpa chips.

Pour the mixture onto the baking tray. The buttered tray is ready to pour the mixture over. Use a flat plastic spatula or knife to spread the mixture evenly. It also doesn’t need to be spread too evenly, but try to spread the mixture evenly so that the cake has a more uniform thickness.

Place the baking tray on the rack in the center of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. After 25 minutes, check to make sure the cake is not burnt. While waiting for the cake to cook, you can clean up the kitchen, because if you keep walking around watching the cake harden, you will probably feel even more hungry.

Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool. Wait at least 5 minutes for the cake to cool and harden a bit. Do not cut while the cake is waiting to cool because the slice will not be neat and beautiful.

Cut the brownie into bite-sized chunks. You can cut the cake into many small pieces to enjoy the whole thing in one meal. Or you can cut into larger cubes to make the cake more beautiful and attractive. To make dessert for a large party, the smaller the cake, the better. But if you’re making a cake for yourself, family, or friends, cut larger chunks so everyone can enjoy more.

You can sprinkle powdered sugar on the cake for extra sweetness.

Soft Brownie

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b7/Make-Brownies-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Brownies-Step-13- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b7/Make-Brownies-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Brownies-Step-13-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Preheat oven to 162ºC. Place the baking tray on the bottom third rack to prepare the soft brownies.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/62/Make-Brownies-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Brownies-Step-14- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/62/Make-Brownies-Step-14-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Brownies-Step-14-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Prepare a 20 x 20 cm baking tray. Line foil or parchment paper on the bottom of the tray and the sides of the tray. Be sure to leave some extra parchment paper on opposite sides of the tray.

Fill a medium-sized pot with 2.5 – 5 cm of water. Cook until the water is simmering.

Mix cocoa powder, sugar, butter and salt in a bowl. Make sure the bowl is heat resistant. Mix the ingredients together, Then, put the bowl in a pot of simmering water to heat up the ingredients and make it easier to mix, and create an even and greasy mixture. Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and warm. Don’t worry if the mixture is a bit mushy as it will get smoother with the addition of flour and eggs.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d8/Make-Brownies-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Brownies-Step-17- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d8/Make-Brownies-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Brownies-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Let the mixture cool for about 3-5 minutes. The mixture should still be warm but not too hot.

Pour in the vanilla extract. Use a spatula or a wooden spoon to stir the vanilla with the mixture to create a unique flavor for the Brownie.

Put the eggs in. Crack each egg into the mixture and beat well. This step will make the mixture smoother.

Pour in the flour. Now you can pour in the flour and mix well. This step will take at least 1-2 minutes. The dough will be very thick at this point, possibly thicker than a traditional brownie mix. It is this consistency that will make the cake softer.

Pour in the seeds. Pour walnuts, pecans, almonds, or your favorite nuts into the flour mixture. This step is optional but will help make the brownie more delicious.

Pour the mixture into the tray. You need to spread the dough evenly so that the brownie has an even thickness.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes. After about 18 minutes, check the cake. If the cake is done, when you insert a toothpick in the center and pull it out, the cake will not stick to the toothpick. After 20-25 minutes, if the cake is still not cooked, continue to bake until the cake is done.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b8/Make-Brownies-Step-24-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make-Brownies-Step-24- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b8/Make-Brownies-Step-24-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Make- Brownies-Step-24-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}

Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool. Let the cake cool for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Cut the Brownie. This recipe will result in 16 medium brownies. However, you can cut into larger or smaller chunks depending on your preference.

Enjoy. You can enjoy the soft brownie with a sweet taste or drizzle with caramel sauce for extra flavor.
