Brownies

Description:
Hmmm brownies... this is one of my favourite sweet desserts. There are many types of brownies, from the cakey, the gooey, the fudgy, mixture of some and so on. I like the gooey with a little bit of cake texture brownie. If you've tried the brownies from Famous Amos, that's the brownies that I love. The brownies were soft and just melted in my mouth.

After browsing several recipes in the internet, I chose to try Pennylane Brownies recipe since there have been several people trying it. Also, there was quite a good review.

I changed some of the ingredients because I love butter and I want to finish off some of the bits and pieces in my pantry.;-p Finally, the brownie is done and I've tried it. The crumb is quite moist as I like. Not bad at all but it is still not exactly what I want. The brownies do not have strong chocolatey taste and less gooey. I'm not sure whether I overmixed it or it's just the recipe. I might adjust slightly the ingredients to amplify the chocolate aroma and the gooeyness (if there is such word for this).
