The Mumbai rains have started the steady staccato beats across the senses. Guru and Subha just had a son and the weekend expected that I go an meet the trio.
I was contemplating what to make and take along when Harini chattered over the phone demanding a birthday cake. This combination sparked the idea of either a cheese cake of some sort of a brownie. The latter was a known devil, so after procrastinating the weekend away I decided that a twist to a know devil would do that trick.
I pulled out a the bake stuff and took a cup of atta (whole wheat), half a teaspoon of baking powder, and less than a cup of sugar. I also got a couple of sachets of instant coffee to substitute the standard spices.
I cracked three 50gm eggs and ...
...dunked the sugar...
...and the coffee into the mixing bowl...
I washed and got the silicone muffins moulds washed and ready before starting work.
I took about 180gm of butter and 160gm of dark compound chocolate out. (Don't worry about the arbit grammage I just made sure I got almost equal quantities of everything and then weighed them to reassure myself that "all is well" :) )
While the oven pre-heated, I whisked the eggs and the sugar...
... and the butter and chocolate melted in the microwave...
... I stirred the chocolate mix to get rid of any lumps and added it to the eggs and sugar...
... and mixed it in with the atta...
Then I quickly poured the heavenly mix into the moulds and in they went into the oven.
I pulled them out when all of them were a little plump (turning them around once) and soon had Harini calling me to hurry up and get to the car...
