chocolate hazelnut brownie cake的做法
prep:
1. separate 1 egg
2. smash 1/4 banana
3. toast and ground 2 tbsp hazelnut---- brownie ------
melt the chocolate and butter in a metal bowl placed over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring gently until smooth.
Remove from the heat once chocolate melts.whisk the egg yolks, brown sugar and vanilla by hand vigorously until the mixture turns thick and butter-coloured, about 2 minutes.
Whisk in the melted chocolate (still warm is OK) and
stir in the cocoa powder and hazelnuts.
Divide this between the ramekins and spread to level, if needed.TIP – You can make the brownie base and chill the ramekins ahead of time, but the meringue should be prepared right before baking.
----- meringue -------
whip the egg whites using electric beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment at high speed until foamy (you can do this by hand, but it takes a while!)
Add the granulated and brown sugars and whip until the whites hold a SOFT peak when the beaters are lifted.Whisk in the hazelnuts, cocoa powder, cornstarch and vinegar.
Dollop the meringue on top of the brownie base in each ramekin.
---- bake --------
Bake the brownies at 325F for 14-16 minutes, until the meringue domes up and just begins to crack slightly.Allow to cool for 5 mins before serving (don’t wait too long…the meringue will shrink down when completely cooled).
