Pseudo-Cooking Show: Brownies

I've been looking for baking recipes in the past couple of weeks and bookmarked it on my laptop, why? because I really wanna try to bake. And luckily, my friend, Alyssa had a week off from school and I asked her if we can bake some brownies in her new oven and she said yes. So here it is, together with my friend and at the same time, her cousin, Iska we had a baking self study. (Blogger's united ang peg namen hahaha)

~1/2 cup all-purpose flour
~1/3 cup HERSHEY’S Cocoa (we used Ricoa instead)
~1/4 teaspoon baking powder
~1/4 teaspoon salt

For the forsting:

~3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
~3 tablespoons HERSHEY’S Cocoa
~1 tablespoon light corn syrup or honey
~1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
~1 cup powdered sugar
~1 to 2 tablespoons milk

Steps

For the batter: 

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 9-inch square baking pan.

2. Stir together butter, sugar and vanilla in bowl.
3. Add eggs; beat well with spoon.
4. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to egg mixture, beating until well blended.
5. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan.

For the frosting: (spread over brownies)

1. Beat butter, cocoa, corn syrup and vanilla in small bowl until blended.
2. Add powdered sugar and milk; beat to spreading consistency.

Looks can be deceiving! Hahaha!

We don't what went wrong but it tastes bitter. Maybe because we did not used Hershey's cocoa powder instead we used Ricoa? hahaha! Any way, it was a fun experience! Til our next baking session! :)
