BUTTERMILK BROWNIES

Steps:

• For the brownies, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with softened butter; set the pan aside. Heat the butter, cocoa powder, vegetable oil, and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and allow to cool just until warm; set aside. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. Combine the granulated sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the cooled cocoa mixture. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. For the frosting, combine the butter, buttermilk, and cocoa powder in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat. Combine the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the sugar mixture, beating with an electric mixer on medium speed. Continue beating until smooth and creamy. Allow to cool completely. After the brownies have cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top.

COCOA BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8-inch square pan.
• In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, and mix to combine.
• Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness with the tried-and-true toothpick method: a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan should come out clean. When it's done, remove to a rack to cool. Resist the temptation to cut into it until it's mostly cool.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter an 8-inch square baking dish or pan, then line with parchment paper if desired to make getting the brownies out easier.
• Mix flour and salt together in a bowl; set aside.
• Place chopped chocolate and butter into a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan with 1 inch of very gently simmering water. When the butter and almost all of the chocolate is melted, stir until smooth. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• Mix sugar and eggs in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer until very airy, thick, and creamy, about 5 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract, then slowly drizzle in the melted chocolate mixture, while mixing on high speed.
• Dump in the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the flour disappears. Use a spatula to transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread as evenly as possible.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out virtually clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to lightly press down the higher parts of the brownie around the edge of the dish. Let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes, before removing and cutting into 9 pieces.
