The pastry is the best parts of the kitchen. In general, those of us who like sweets love to cook all kinds of desserts, buns or brownies. This is undoubtedly one of the best inventions in terms of confectionery.

Created by an American pastry chef who forgot to put the yeast in a brownie. This dessert has been improved until it is in its current form. There are many variations of this dessert, like the one we bring you today, the strawberry brownie.

1. Strawberry brownie

Ingredients:

• 90g butter
• 220 g of strawberry chocolate
• 2 eggs
• 60g sugar
• 1 teaspoon of berry, strawberry or raspberry paste aroma (optional)
• 1130 g flour
• a pinch of salt

Process:

• Preheat the oven to 180ºC.

• Line a flat, rectangular mold with greaseproof paper or grease it with butter.
• In a saucepan over the fire, melt the butter with half the chocolate, stirring and taking care not to burn it.
• When it is well melted and homogeneous, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the rest of the chocolate. Stir until everything is well melted.
• Beat the eggs with the sugar until they double in volume.
• Add the paste aroma to the chocolate and butter mixture (optional).
• Stir to mix everything well and add the chocolate to the sparkling eggs, mixing everything gently with a spatula.
• Stir until you have a homogeneous mixture.
• Add the flour and mix gently, stirring until there are no lumps.
• Pour the dough into the mold and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick pokes it slightly damp.
• Prepare a bowl of cold water (if it is summer, add ice) and as soon as the mold comes out of the oven, put it in the bowl to stop cooking.

• Let it rest in the pan until the brownie is cool, because if it is removed immediately, it can break.
