How to cook deliciously - Spiced Hot Chocolate Brownies

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 375°. Grease a 13" x 9" metal baking pan with butter. Line with parchment, leaving an overhang on 2 opposite long sides, then grease parchment with butter. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, milk powder, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne until combined.

2. Stage

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter until just bubbling. Remove from heat.

3. Stage

Add chocolate, granulated sugar, and brown sugar and mix until chocolate is glossy. Add eggs one at a time, stirring to blend after each addition, then stir in vanilla. Add chocolate mixture to flour mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until no dry streaks remain. Pour batter into prepared pan.

4. Stage

Bake brownies until a tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 25 to 30 minutes.

5. Stage

Let cool in pan 15 minutes. Using parchment overhang, transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

6. Stage

In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl using a handheld mixer), beat confectioners’ sugar, butter, cocoa powder, cream, paprika, vanilla, and salt on medium-high speed until sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.

7. Stage

Dollop frosting on brownie. Using an offset spatula or back of a spoon, spread frosting to your liking. Sprinkle with paprika.
