THE BEST BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius.
• Mix oil and sugar until well blended.
• Add eggs and vanilla; stir just until blended.
• Mix all dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
• Stir dry ingredients into the oil/sugar mixture.
• Pour into greased 9 x 9 square pan.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until sides just starts to pull away from the pan.

• Note: I usually double the recipe and bake in a 9 x 13 pan. If you double the recipe, you will need to cook longer than 20 minutes.

MARBLE FUDGE BROWNIES FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°.
• Lightly butter and dust (use unsweetened cocoa powder) two 4-by-1 1/4-inch round fluted tartlet pans with removable bottoms.
• Slowly stir butter and chocolate over low heat in a small sauce pan until softened. Remove pan from the heat and let cool slightly. In a larger mixing bowl, whisk the egg with 6 tablespoons of the sugar until combined. Add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture and stir in the flour and salt. Spread the batter into the awaiting pans.
• In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese with the remaining sugar until smooth and creamy. Add egg yolk and vanilla to the cream cheese and mix until blended. Evenly spoon the cream cheese mixture over the chocolate batter in each pan. Swirl the batters together in 2-3 strokes with a fork.
• Bake the brownies for about 35 minutes at 325 degrees. The brownies should be lightly browned and slightly puffed, but should not be completely set in the center. Place the tartlets on a wire rack and allow setting before attempting to remove from the pan, at least 15 minutes. Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream.
