Today we have to mentally travel to the other end of the world, as we will bake a real American chocolate brownie. While the cuisine of the United States is simple and utilitarian, it cannot be denied that there is a vast modern culture behind it. For example, enjoying a warm brownie, you can easily imagine yourself as the heroine of a New York melodrama who ran into a cafe to meet with her friends, or you can also imagine a road movie heroine sitting on a red sofa in a roadside cafe and looking out the window at a strip of asphalt stretching beyond the horizon. ...
Let's dream for ourselves and let them dream at home :)

American Cuisine - Brownie Chocolate Cake

We cooked it, photographed it and ate it in order to clearly and simply describe the recipe for chocolate brownie in a slow cooker with step-by-step photos, answering in detail the question: how to make a classic brownie cake at home.

The history of American brownie brownie is a history of culinary mistakes; at least that's what the legends say. According to one of them, an absent-minded pastry chef, about to make a biscuit, accidentally added liquid chocolate to the dough ... ... According to another version, the cook did not have enough flour, and in the third story, not a professional pastry chef is mentioned, but an ordinary housewife, who did not put a baking powder in the cake dough and, so that guests would not notice this oversight, turned it into a cookie by cutting it into pieces.

However, the chefs of the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago do not agree with any of these versions; they are sure that the famous dessert was first prepared in the kitchen of this no less famous hotel. Moreover, it was prepared not by mistake, but on purpose: the then hostess of the hotel, Bertha Palmer, asked the pastry chef to come up with a treat specifically for the ladies, so that it would be smaller than a piece of cake, but more cookies so that you could take it with you and eat it with your hands. The wish was fulfilled: the recipe for a delicious dessert was born, which is a cross between a cake, a muffin and a cookie.

Palmer House still prepares a chocolate brownie, covered with apricot icing, which has become a kind of feature of the institution. Well, in a great many other pastry shops where this dessert is served, they refused any fruit glazes, decorating the cake with whipped cream, powdered sugar, marzipan - or not decorating at all, leaving an amazing hard sugar crust open.

As for the other ingredients, the main ones are chocolate, flour and eggs. Berries, nuts, dried fruits can be added to the dough - or you can do without them, since the classic chocolate brownie is completely self-sufficient. The main thing in the dessert, perhaps, is not so much its components as its texture: tender, juicy pulp should be hidden under a hard crust. It is quite possible to achieve this with the use of modern kitchen gadgets, so we will cook brownies in a slow cooker.

We need from utensils:

When choosing products, we pay attention first of all to chocolate. A real brownie will only come out of dark chocolate (milk or white will not work), if you wish, you can buy bars with almonds or hazelnuts (the nuts must be chopped).

In fact, baking a brownie is easy.
Well, good luck and ... let's go :)

The middle of a real brownie should remain slightly damp, as if not baked. If the cake is kept at room temperature, the dough will "grab" and will not seem soggy; the taste will not suffer from this, but an amazing combination of tender pulp with a hard sugar crust will go away. Therefore, we recommend serving the chocolate brownies warm, with tea, coffee or cream.

Or you can do otherwise by making a brownie cake - cut the cake in half and layer it with a delicate, airy cream: for example, cottage cheese or mascarpone with whipped cream.

Well, now you know how to make a real chocolate brownie at home.

Recipe for making a delicious brownie cake in a Redmond multicooker

How to cook brownies in a Redmond multicooker? To make it tasty, you need a good recipe and a slow cooker.

Brownie cake is a traditional American dish. This is a dessert whose name literally translated from English means brown. The main component that gives this color is chocolate or cocoa.

In the 19th century, brownie cake was not only made with chocolate. Molasses was used for baking. It is molasses that is formed during the preparation of sugar from sugar cane. It is dark brown and has a pleasant bittersweet taste and is still used in cooking today. The first mention of molasses brownies can be found in Fanny Farmer's cookbook.

Depending on the recipe, there are several types of these baked goods:

• "Live" brownies, with a liquid center;
• cakes;
• stringy brownies;
• brown sugar cakes, no chocolate.

A variety of fillings are added to the American cake. Most often they are nuts, but they can be bananas, cherries, or even cottage cheese. Learn the classic brownie recipe.

To make the famous American cake, they buy chocolate with a cocoa content of about 70%.

The butter and chocolate are melted in a water bath with constant stirring, making sure that the mass does not boil. Do not allow the chocolate to overheat. As soon as the butter melts and combines with the chocolate, the mass is removed from the water bath and allowed to cool. You can do it a little differently. Finely crush the chocolate into a bowl, melt the butter in a slow cooker. Pour hot butter over the chocolate bar, stirring well, until it melts. The mass will immediately turn out to the desired temperature.

When baking brownie cake, it is better to underbake rather than bake. In the latter case, the incredible chocolate aroma and pleasant damp texture of the cake will be lost. Baking in a multicooker takes an hour, but at the end of baking, the pie should remain moist when pierced with a toothpick. There will be a dense crust on the sides, at the bottom of the cake and a little on top, and in the middle there will be a delicate moist consistency. To make a hard crust on the top of the cake, sprinkle the dough with a teaspoon of granulated sugar in a slow cooker before baking.

Let's start cooking

From the specified number of products, 10 servings are obtained, weighing about 50 grams. This cake is quite high in calories due to the large amount of chocolate; 100 grams contains 369 kcal. Therefore, it is not recommended to eat dessert in large quantities.

• a couple of eggs;
• a glass of granulated sugar;

Tip: To dilute the chocolate flavor, you can add chopped roasted nuts to the dough. The taste of "Brownie" is well set off by almonds and arihis.

Cooking method

Making chocolate dough is very easy. Break the cocoa bean delicacy into small pieces, and put it in a water bath. Introduce the required amount of butter here. Stir the mass until a homogeneous consistency is formed and remove it from the water bath.

Beat eggs with powdered sugar. Pour the egg mass in a trickle to the chocolate one. Mix and carefully add dry ingredients sifted through a sieve. We knead the dough and proceed to the most important stage - baking.

Coat the baking dish with butter. To reduce the fat content of the pie, you can simply cover the baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the chocolate dough into the mold, and level it with a spatula. We put the form in a multicooker and bake on the "Baking" mode for about 40 minutes.

At the end of baking the confection, do not rush to take it out of the mold. To keep the cake fluffy and moist, let it stand under the closed lid of the multicooker for another 20 minutes.

In a slow cooker, it comes out unusually tender. The prepared cake can be covered with icing, or garnished with powdered sugar. Bon Appetit!

Brownie cake in a slow cooker with cherries

Cherries and chocolate are a winning combination. So why not combine these two ingredients in Brownie Pie. To make the cooking process easier, we advise you to give preference to pitted cherries.

Tip: Chocolate cherry pie can be soaked with cherry syrup, liqueur, and cognac. To do this, dilute a couple of tablespoons of the selected liquid with the same amount of warm, boiled water. Apply impregnation to the cooled cake and give the confection the opportunity to "brew".

Ingredients

• dark chocolate bar;
• 100 grams of butter;
• a couple of eggs;
• 100 grams of sugar;
• vanilla to taste;
• 120 grams of wheat flour;
• 300 gr (as much as possible) pitted cherries;
• half a teaspoon of baking powder for the dough.

Expert opinion

Confectioner

Please note: the dried berries should be added to the dough. Pre-rinse the cherries, drain the juice from the berries and put them in a dry plate so that the excess "moisture" is gone.

Cooking method

1. Break the chocolate into small pieces and put in a water bath. Stir the mixture constantly with a wooden spoon so that it does not burn to the bottom.
2. When the mass melts, add butter. Knead the mass until it becomes smooth. We remove the dishes from the water bath and set them aside.
3. Beat eggs and sugar in a dry bowl.
4. Sift dry ingredients and add them to the eggs. Knead the mass until it becomes smooth.
5. Add chocolate liquid to the dough. Stir the mixture and add the required amount of pitted cherries.

Grease the multicooker bowl with butter, and immediately pour out the dough. We put the baking dish on the bottom of the multicooker and cook our pie on the “Bake” mode for about 50 minutes. It is very simple to check the readiness of the delicacy: we pierce the cake with a match. If there is no dough left on the match, then the treat is ready for use.

At the end of cooking, we take out the confection in a multicooker, let it cool slightly and decorate with cherries. By the way, the top of the delicacy can be covered with chocolate glaze (melt 100 grams of chocolate in a water bath, and add 50 grams of cream and butter each) to “fix” the already rich taste. Serve freshly baked goods with coffee, tea and cocoa. Bon Appetit!

You can use white, black or milk chocolate if desired. Or you can combine all types of chocolate at once in one confection. It is very difficult to spoil a confection. Especially when it comes to making a pie in a slow cooker. In order not to encounter difficulties while preparing a treat, we advise you to use the little tips:

5. Cover the multicooker bowl with foil to keep it moist.
