Easy and simple cake to make on a weekend. There are many types of brownies you can make. Fudgy brownies, chewy brownies, cake brownies. Each with different texture. I made this brownies with cakey and slightly fudgy texture brownies. So yummy!
I've seen many pictures of brownies on Pinterest and most of the have cracks and crunchy surface. I once made brownies before and couldn't get that texture. Now, I've discover the trick in getting that crust on top of the brownie.
The longer you beat the egg in the batter, it will then create such crunch and slightly cracked and dry top brownies. It is the layer of meringue created when you beat the egg whites with the incorporated sugar in the batter. So, the longer you beat them, the better the result for the top surface.
Do let me know if you like such brownies with crunchy top surface. :)
To make this brownies, the most important ingredient that will affect the flavour is the chocolate bar and cocoa powder you use. I use Van Houten Semi Sweet Dark Chocolate.
