HAHA i know this post came a bit late, but still..
(tongzhen and i baked fudgy brownies for gz potluck last friday.)
we spent like half an hour in the supermarket trying to find all the ingredients, esp the cocoa powder, (pronounced as ko-ko)
the truth behind those brownies
3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 cup ap flour
Optional:
1 cup chocolate chips
in other words, we were supposed to use 2 cups = 500g of sugar, but we had REDUCED SUGAR to abt 400g. xDD healthier. and added whole pack = 250g of chocolate chips.
btw the cups refer there, is = 250g.
f.y.i., if u want to know the nutrition serving:

READY FOR BAKING!i just found out the reason for the brownies being super hard on friday morning. the recipe wrote: put them inside a pre-heated 325 degree oven and bake for abt half an hour.
it meant in fareinheit, we thought it was celcius, but the highest for my oven was 250, so ya and we left for only 15minutes and it became like that. what if we left if for 30 mins?? ...
my house has an extra set of baking ingredients, because we wanted to bake one more at first hah. dunno when will the next time i ll get to use them. >.<
