Cakelike Brownies

These are the brownies I promised I would post which I served with the Dulce de Leche Ice Cream.  The original recipe is from David Lebovitz The Perfect Scoop (my daughter gave this to me and I have gotten incredible recipes out of it, so I highly recommend.)  Even though I have a recipe for brownies already, these are great because you use only one ‘bowl’ (saucepan actually) and they make a smaller quantity, which sometimes  is just what you need.

These are actually his Dulce de Leche Brownies from his blog.  But in The Perfect Scoop, the Dulce de Leche Brownies are a variation.  So ignore the dulce de leche step, to get the chocolate brownie (though the dulce de leche part sounds amazing!).

I followed the recipe exact except for the optional nuts.  I did not add them.

Covering the bottom of the pan with aluminum foil was great, the brownies just pulled right out of the pan with the aid of the foil.

I baked mine for only 30 minutes.  Ovens vary, so check yours after 30 minutes.
