Ingredients
  • 4 ounce Unsweetened chocolate
  • 8 tablespoon Unsalted butter, room temp
  • 1 1/4 cup Plus 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 3 lg Eggs, room temp
  • 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Plus 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163&# 194;°C).
  2. 2
    Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter or vegetable oil.
  3. 3
    Melt the 4 ounces of unsweetened chocolate and 8 tablespoons of butter together in the top of a double boiler placed over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
  4. 4
    Remove from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes.
  5. 5
    Place 1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon of sugar in a medium mixing bowl and pour in the cooled chocolate mixture.
  6. 6
    Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture until well blended, about 25 seconds.
  7. 7
    Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  8. 8
    Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl.
  9. 9
    With the mixer on medium-low speed, add the eggs one at a time, blending for about 10 seconds after each addition until the yolk is broken and dispersed.
  10. 10
    Scrape the bowl again and beat until the batter is velvety, about 15 more seconds.
  11. 11
    Add 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour on low speed and mix for 20 seconds.
  12. 12
    Finish mixing by hand with a spatula, ensuring any flour at the bottom of the bowl is fully incorporated.
  13. 13
    Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts.
  14. 14
    Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of walnuts over the top.
  15. 15
    Bake on the center oven rack until a thin crust forms on top and a tester inserted in the center comes out with a moist crumb, about 35 minutes. The center should not rise higher than the edges.
  16. 16
    Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely for 1 hour.
  17. 17
    For the frosting, melt 1 1/2 ounces of unsweetened chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water.
  18. 18
    Pour evaporated milk into an electric blender, then add 1/3 cup of sugar and the melted chocolate.
  19. 19
    Blend on medium-low speed until the frosting thickens, about 50 seconds. The sound of the blender will change when it is ready.
  20. 20
    Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies using a frosting spatula.
  21. 21
    Allow the brownies to sit for 1 hour to set before cutting and serving.
