Appetizing brownie
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. For the brownies, I used dark cocoa powder, which determines the final color; if you use light cocoa, the brownies will turn out light brown. This recipe can be used for other desserts too—for example, a flowerpot-shaped cake, where this color will perfectly mimic soil in the pot. What about a Halloween cake? The earthy tone will be just right. And of course, you'll simply end up with a very delicious brownie! Try it. Serve warm or chilled. Ideal with tea.

8. The diameter of my pan is 22 cm; you can use (or even better) a square one, 20x20 cm. Line the bottom with parchment paper and grease it with oil. Spread the dough evenly and place in the oven.

9. The brownie is ready after 15 minutes, but don't overbake it, otherwise it will crumble too much. Test for doneness with a toothpick—if it comes out dry, it's done!

10. Brownies are traditionally topped with chocolate glaze or melted chocolate. That's exactly what I did—I made the glaze using my favorite recipe (a couple of tablespoons of milk, a piece of butter, sugar, and cocoa).
