Passover Brownies

By , About.com Guide

These rich and chewy brownies are frosted with a creamy chocolate glaze. They're perfect for Passover or anytime! Cake meal is made of commercially ground matzos, so it's light and fluffy and very much like flour. If you can't find it, grind your own matzos in a food processor.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup margarine, melted
  • 1 cup cake meal
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • GLAZE:
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp. margarine
  • 1/2 tsp. instant coffee crystals
  • 1 Tbsp. hot water
  • 1/4 cup sour cream, if desired

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease 13x9" pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

In large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, 1/2 cup cocoa, and salt and mix well. Add melted margarine, cake meal, and 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips along with chopped nuts. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 40-55 minutes until top looks shiny and dry; do not overbake. Let cool in pan.

For glaze, melt 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips with margarine in a small saucepan. In small bowl or cup, dissolve coffee crystals in hot water and stir into chocolate mixture until smooth. Add sour cream, if desired, and stir until smooth. (You can leave out the sour cream and the glaze will be fine.) Pour over the cooled brownies and spread thinly to cover. Cool completely and cut into squares. Makes about 24 brownies.
