Brownies with a twist





      Why do I call them "Brownies with a twist"? Because I started craving brownies the other days, but I didn't wanted the sticky consistency of an usual brownie, but to feel like eating a fluffy cake which tastes and smells like a brownie.
      So, I started changing the actual recipe and they turned out exactly as I wanted them. I hope you will love it as much as I do now.


      Ingredients:

- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup of sugar (about 150g)
- 8 grams vanilla sugar
- 250 ml milk
- 125 grams margarine
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3-4 teaspoons of cocoa
- 8 grams baking powder
- pinch of baking soda
- pinch of salt
- rum and vanilla extract (as much as you usually like in cakes)
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice



      Preheat the oven.
      Mix sugar and milk in a pot on medium heat. Once the sugar melted, add the margarine and turn off the fire. Mix so the margarine will melt and cool down the milk.
      In a bowl mix the whole eggs with salt and the vanilla sugar until it triples the volume. Add the rum and vanilla extract and milk-mixture.
      Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa. Add the mixture to the eggs and mix until they all combine. The batter should look like a regular cake batter, shouldn't be runny like water, but more dense. Add the lemon juice and mix.
      Pour it into the baking tray and bake it for at least 20 minutes (do not open the oven door earlier than 15 minutes). Check to see if it is ready by inserting a toothpick inside the cake and if it comes out clean, than the brownie is ready to serve.
      Let it cool down in the tray, and do not cut it down while still hot.



      Well .... here it is. It won't take you more than 30 minutes to prepare the dough, and that is if you usually not moving fast in the kitchen.
