Mochaccino Brownies

I love anything that has coffee. Be it cakes, brownies, desserts anything under the sun that has coffee, I simply devour it! And, it's been quite some time since I've made anything with coffee... Found this brownie recipe in one of the books I have and sounded quite interesting!!!

A Mochaccino Brownie, heard about it?? Me, no way!!Haven't come across any mochaccino brownies in my place!! A mochaccino is simply a cappuccino added with chocolate syrup... And the mochaccino brownies are rich, dense and moist chocolate brownies infused with rich espresso coffee flavour.

Ingredients:
Recipe Adapted from: Coffee by Parragon Books

Unsalted butter- 115g
Plain chocolate - 115g
Espresso strong black coffee - 2 tbsp
Caster sugar - 250g
Cinnamon, ground - 1/4 tsp
Plain flour - 85g

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 C. Grease and line a square baking pan.
Place the butter, chocolate and coffee in a medium sized saucepan over a low heat and stir until just melted and smooth. Cool slightly.
Whisk in the sugar, cinnamon and eggs. Beat in the flour. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until just firm but still moist inside. Cool in the pan and then cut into squares or bars.

You could add walnuts and chocolate chips, but I didn't as we are not walnut lovers and I was running out of chocolate chips. Also, you could serve the brownies with some white mocha sauce poured on the top, but again we love to have our brownies with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup, so skipped that part too! *smiles*

Pansache Dhonas/ Jackfruit Cake

It's the season of jackfruit and you get to see lots of them in Kerala now. Last week, when I went home for a day, I brought back some jackfruits as my son loves them...... After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy!

Keep aside. Let it cool for at least 20 mins. Remove the jackfruit seeds and put them into a mixer ...
