Whoever has gone to make chocolate brownie and discovered they had no chocolate in the pantry will love this one. I made this for a morning tea and had two recipe requests and two people comment that it was the best brownie they had ever eaten! I was so proud, but I really just think its a great recipe!
The original recipe adds chocolate drops and you can access this via the link at the bottom, however, I swapped this out for coconut and think it gives it that extra something!
This makes a HUGE batch, so you can halve it if you wish.
The Best Ever (no chocolate) Brownie
320g butter, melted
1 1/4 cups cocoa
7 eggs
3 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 - 1 1/2 cups coconut
1 1/4 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
Frozen/fresh raspberries (optional)
Icing sugar (optional)
- Preheat oven to 160C.
- Line a large baking tin/roasting dish (I use a 24x34cm rectangle dish)
- Melt the butter in a large bowl (there's lots of ingredients to fit in here) in the microwave, or in a large saucepan on the stove.
- Using an electric mixer, beat cocoa into melted butter.
- Add eggs, sugar, and vanilla, and whiz with electric mixer for 3-4 mins until the mixture begins to whip up in volume (about double).
- Using a wooden spoon/rubber spatula, mix in the coconut.
- Sift flour and baking powder in; stir until fully combined.
- Pour into lined baking tin; give it a gentle shake to even out the mixture.
- If using raspberries, dot these evenly on top of the mixture, gently pushing them just under the surface.
- Bake in oven at 160C for about 1 hour, until an inserted skewer comes clean.
- Leave to cool in tin for about 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool further.
- If you want to make them look extra fancy, sift icing sugar over the top.
- Enjoy warm, cold, with some whipped cream, with some hot coffee, or even with a sneaky wine!
| Amount | Cooking Time | Prep Time |
|---|---|---|
| approx 50 brownies | about 1 hour | 15-20 mins |
I recommend under cooking this slightly - check at 50 minutes and definitely don't cook over the one hour. If it is still a little gooey in the middle, this is good! It will semi-set and this is what gives it such a fantastic texture (crunchy outer and gooey inside!)
Enjoy!
