There’s something incredibly comforting about the smell of chocolate wafting through the house, a sensory delight that instantly transports me back to my grandmother’s cozy kitchen. Every Sunday, without fail, my family would gather at her place for dinner, and the highlight of our meal was always Grandma’s famous Brownie Cupcakes. The recipe, though simple, was a treasured family secret, passed down through generations, each batch carrying with it a sense of warmth and togetherness.
Ingredients:
– Unsweetened chocolate
– Unsalted butter
– White granulated sugar
– Vanilla extract
– Eggs
– All-purpose flour
– Salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C). If using a turbo broiler, set it to 150 degrees.
2. Melt the chopped chocolate and butter in a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Mix in the sugar using a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon. Add the vanilla extract, followed by the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
4. Combine the flour and salt, then gently fold into the chocolate mixture until well blended.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, ensuring each is filled about three-quarters full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 – 25 minutes. If using a turbo broiler, bake for 13-15 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
7. Cool the cupcakes on a wire rack. Once cooled completely, frost with your favorite icing.
