Ultimate Fudgy Brownies | Egg & Eggless Version
Ultimate Brownies | Egg & Eggless Versions – I know I’ve made the egg version some time ago. I have modified a little and this is definitely an improvised version. I’ve also shown you how to make the eggless version, since I’ve been getting this request from time to time. Although the look (especially the surface of each version) may look different, but both fudgy texture and taste are pretty much similar. I love making brownies because they are super easy to make and my kids love them. I hope you’ll be inspired to make some bagels. Give me your comment down below in the comment box what you think about both the versions. Enjoy!

Eggless version:
Ingredients:
• Brownies (Egg Version)
200g [1½ cup] dark chocolate, compound coins chocolates (although I provided the cup measurement, but I do recommend that you used a weighing scale for the chocolate, because chocolate comes with various forms. They can be in chips or chunks or coins like mine, all could weigh differently in cups.
115g [½ cup] unsalted butter
75g [¼ cup + 2 tbsp] white sugar
75g [¼ cup + 2 tbsp] brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp salt
90g [¾ cup] all-purpose flour
25g [¼ cup] cocoa powder
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, add chocolate and butter. Melt them over a double boiler. Be careful do not apply to strong heat as it can affect the chocolate texture and will not be smooth. Make sure they are well melted. Set aside for cooling.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the sugars and eggs. I recommend to use an electric mixer. Mix on high speed until the batter is creamy, pale and volume doubled.
3. Add in vanilla extract and salt. Mix until combined.
4. Add in the melted chocolate mixture. Mix until well combined.
5. Sift in the dry ingredients, flour and cocoa powder. Fold in until combined. Do not over mix.
6. Transfer batter into an 8x8 inch prepared pan, grease and lined with parchment paper. Level the surface with the spatula.
7. Bake in preheated oven at 175°C/350°F for 30 minutes. If you prefer a bit more gooey, you may go for 25 minutes.
8. Cut the cake with a hot knife. (You may soak the knife in hot water. This is optional)
9. Cake can be served warm with a scoop of ice cream or a cold milk.

CHRISTMAS IN FLORENCE, ITALY: Chocolate Truffles, Italian Ricciarelli Cookies, Gluten Free Baking
Here's another Christmas episode for you! All recipes are now on my site here:
This time I make homemade chocolate truffles. Slightly more healthy gluten free, sugar free, dairy free chocolate balls, traditional Italian ricciarelli cookies from Siena and a beautiful DIY chocolate box. If you love baking or Christmas magic or arts and crafts, you'll love this episode. I also take you through the streets of the historic centre of Florence or Firenze with all the holiday season's decorations and lights. You can find many more videos on my channel about how I learned Italian and moved to Italy. Making these episodes alone is very time consuming and expensive and if you would like to support my work, you can find my Patreon page here:
You can find my recipes and other information on moving to Italy, learning Italian or my filmmaking equipment on my website:
Please don't follow me on Facebook as that person is not me - they have stolen my identity for the past few years. You can follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration from Italy and around the world to make you dream, learn a language, cook, travel, move to a foreign country, film, edit or pursue your passion:

Dolce di firenze (schiacciata alla fiorentina)
La schiacciata alla fiorentina è il dolce di Firenze più tipico e non ha assolutamente niente a che vedere con la schiacciata salata. Viene considerato un dolce tipico del periodo del carnevale, ma il realtà le pasticcerie di Firenze ne sfornano tutto l'anno.
E' una ricetta che risale ad almeno tre secoli fa, mentre una aggiunta recente, ma molto buona, è quella della farcitura con panna montata.
Ingredienti (teglia di 26 cm.)
- 3 uova
- 270 grammi farina
- 160 grammi zucchero
- 75 grammi latte
- 45 grammi di olio di oliva
- 2 arance
- lievito per dolci
Ripieno:
- mezzo litro di panna fresca
Decorazione:
- zucchero a velo
