New Microwave Oven 10 - Chocolate Brownie Edition
↑Continuing from last time↑
I intend to make a gateau chocolat for my child's birthday. Before that, I thought I would have everyone at the meetup taste-test it as practice. However, a question suddenly occurred to me here.
Since it's just a small amount for tasting, wouldn't it be bulky and actually annoying to put ice packs in a box for each individual piece?
So, I decided to make chocolate brownies in a hurry. (The purpose has changed 😅)
The ingredients are like this. I bought confectionery chocolate (sweet) for the first time in my life.

Put the walnuts in an oven preheated to 150°C and bake for 10 minutes.

Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and pure cocoa powder beforehand.

Like this.

Prepare hot water to melt the chocolate. To prevent a gritty texture, keep it at 60°C or below.

Place the chocolate in a double boiler.

It's starting to melt~

It smells so good~!

Well then, it seems the walnuts are done baking in the oven. Take them out and let them cool.

Once they have cooled down, chop them up.

The chocolate has completely melted.

I'll add the brown sugar here.

I'll also add the beaten egg.

And the heavy cream, too.

Then I'll add the pure cocoa powder, baking powder, and cake flour,

and add the walnuts before it's fully mixed.

The batter is ready!

Time to bake. 160°C for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, I poked the batter with a bamboo skewer, and it was still runny. I thought, 'This isn't baked at all,' so I added another 5 minutes of baking time, and this is the result.

I cut it up, wrapped the pieces individually, and brought them to the meetup. I felt a bit awkward giving people these scraps, but I reconsidered, thinking it was fine since we had discussed beforehand about reducing the number of souvenirs for this meetup. However, everyone surprised me in a good way. Everyone gave me so many wonderful souvenirs. Is this what they call 'fishing for a sea bream with a shrimp'? I felt so embarrassed bringing just this by myself.
In any case, the oven series will continue below.
