These Oxe Frosted Brownies are a decadent treat that combines the deep, intense flavor of high-quality cocoa with a chewy, cake-like crumb. The batter is enriched with plenty of butter and eggs, creating a luxurious texture that holds up perfectly under the generous layer of homemade frosting. The frosting itself is a simple yet elegant blend of melted butter, cocoa, and powdered sugar, resulting in a smooth, spreadable coating that isn’t overly sweet. These brownies are perfect for potlucks, holiday gatherings, or simply satisfying a serious chocolate craving on a quiet evening. They slice beautifully into squares and pair wonderfully with a hot cup of coffee or tea.

Description

These Oxe Frosted Brownies are a decadent treat that combines the deep, intense flavor of high-quality cocoa with a chewy, cake-like crumb. The batter is enriched with plenty of butter and eggs, creating a luxurious texture that holds up perfectly under the generous layer of homemade frosting. The frosting itself is a simple yet elegant blend of melted butter, cocoa, and powdered sugar, resulting in a smooth, spreadable coating that isn't overly sweet.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a large baking pan, larger than 9x13 inches.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the 3/4 pound of butter over low heat. Stir in 1 cup of cocoa powder until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the 5 eggs until frothy.
  4. Add 3 cups of sugar to the beaten eggs and mix until well blended.
  5. Pour the melted butter and cocoa mixture into the egg and sugar mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
  6. Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix well.
  7. Fold in 2 cups of flour and 2 pinches of salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Fold in 2 cups of chopped walnuts if desired.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the brownies start to pull away from the sides of the pan. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  11. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  12. For the frosting: Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan. Add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until smooth.
  13. Pour the melted butter and cocoa mixture into a mixing bowl.
  14. Add 1/2 pound (approx. 1 6/11 cups) of powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla to the bowl.
  15. Add 3 1/2 tablespoons of canned evaporated milk.
  16. Beat the frosting ingredients together until smooth, creamy, and spreadable.
  17. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  18. Cut into squares and serve.
