Simple veg brownie





This is a light and easy to make cake.  It requires very little ingredients. It can be served plain or with a glazing.  It is an ideal accompaniment for tea as it is not very sweet. I generally serve it as a dessert after dinner.

Ingredients:

All-purpose flour (maida) -1/2 cup
Cocoa powder -1/2cup
Castor sugar -3/4 cup
Beaten curd -1/cup
Instant coffee -6gm
Dark chocolate -50gms (chopped finely)
Baking powder -1tsp
Refined oil -100gms


Method:
Mix the cocoa powder, flour and baking powder together. Sieve it twice. Keep aside.
Mix the curd, instant coffee and sugar. Slowly add the oil. Then add the mixed flour and the chopped chocolate. Mix well.
Pour it in a greased pan dusted with some plain flour.
Bake it in a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 to 25 minutes.




Notes:
I have used 2 small sachets of Bru instant coffee and ¾ bar of Bournville dark chocolate. I have also applied dark chocolate glazing on the the brownie.

For Chocolate glazing
