Cinnamon Brownies

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 200 g dark chocolate (with as much cocoa content as possible!)
• 200 g butter
• 4 eggs
• 250 g sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 160 g flour
• 30 g cocoa powder, unsweetened
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 125 g powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp milk

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 5 minutes

Spicy brownies with creamy frosting, for 15 pieces

For the batter, melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler and let cool slightly. Beat the eggs and sugar until creamy, then beat in the lukewarm (not hot!) chocolate. Mix the flour with the cinnamon and cocoa powder and stir in. Pour the batter into a rectangular baking pan lined with baking paper, approximately 30 x 20 cm (larger works well, but will produce slightly flatter brownies) and bake at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for 30-35 minutes. The batter will seem to rise a lot at first, but will shrink again after baking—that’s how it should be. They should have a light crust on the outside and still be slightly runny on the inside. Let cool completely in the pan. Meanwhile, beat the butter and cocoa powder until light and fluffy, then add the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and milk and beat again until fluffy. Turn the cake out, carefully remove the baking paper, and spread generously with the frosting. Then cut into about 15 small pieces, or more if desired.
