Like Your Brownies Cake-like! You Gotta Try These!
I love cake-like brownies, with lots of walnuts! How about you?
Here's how to make these, quick and easy, with corners that you will fight over! If I'm doing the baking, I claim the corners, and nobody better touch them!
Ingredients:
1 box Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownies mix, 18.3 ounces
3 large eggs
1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I used canola)
6 tablespoons water
2 cups walnut halves and pieces - DO NOT CHOP!
Procedure:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Empty brownie mix into a fairly large bowl, large enough to hold all ingredients and to mix them
In a 9x13 baking pan, put 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil. With your fingers, spread the vegetable oil all over the bottom and up the side of the pan. This will give you the good crispy edges (and double edges on the corners, of course) that those of us who are cake-type fans just love).
Add 1/4 cup vegetable oil to the mix in the bowl.
Add 3 large eggs.
Add 6 tablespoons water at room temperature.
Stir until all ingredients are well-mixed, about 50 strokes.
When all ingredients are mixed, add the walnuts and thoroughly mix in. By not chopping them, there is a different taste to every bite of brownie - some have a lot of nut flavor, some less, and the textures are delightful!
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and place into the heated oven.
Bake for 26-29 minutes, testing with a toothpick beginning at 26 minutes. Be careful not to overbake, since you do not want these to get too dry.
Allow to cool completely. I like to make mine in the evening, cover the pan with foil, and cut the next day, but you don't have to wait this long. I would suggest waiting at least 4 hours.
Cut into whatever size pieces you like, and enjoy!
