Brownies


Sarah decided to experiment tonight with a new brownie recipe. They are more cake like and the the frosting has honey in it. They were good!!!

Recipe:
1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 c. all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder

Melt butter. Stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread into 8" greased pan. Bake at 350 for 25 mins. These brownies are cakey? cakie? cake like!

Frosting:
3 tbs. butter, softened
3 tbs. cocoa powder
1 tbs. honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners sugar
Milk as needed to spreading consistency

Combine and frost while warm!!

(If you are not a big fan of honey, get your head examined! Just kidding, just reduce the amount of honey or leave it out.) Personally, I liked the taste difference. It felt organic, natural, less guilty. Anytime I can delude myself, I am THERE!!
