Fudgy Orange Brownies

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The secret to a perfect brownie is texture: crisp crust outside, dense and fudgy inside. In this recipe, the richness of chocolate is cut by orange essential oils and acidity, creating a more exciting, adult flavor profile. Don't expect airy sponge cake – this is pure indulgence.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line pan with parchment paper.

Tip: Leave overhang on paper for easy lifting.
2 ✓

Melt chocolate with butter over steam or in microwave. Stir until smooth and let cool to lukewarm.

Tip: If too hot, it will cook the eggs. Avoid getting water in chocolate to prevent seizing.
3 ✓

Beat eggs with sugar until pale (very important!). Stir in orange zest and 3 tbsp (approx 50ml) orange juice.

Tip: This step gives the brownie its signature texture.
4 ✓

Drizzle buttery chocolate into the egg mixture and stir.

Tip: You'll get a beautiful, glossy batter.
5 ✓

Sift in flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold just until flour disappears.

Tip: Do not overmix! Just fold.
6 ✓

Pour into pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Tip: Done when edges are firm but center still jiggles slightly when shaken.
7 ✓

Let cool completely in the pan (can even refrigerate for a few hours before cutting).

Tip: Brownies are best cold when the texture sets.

Recipe FAQ

The center is too runny.
Brownies have a fine line between 'done' and 'raw'. If totally liquid, bake 5 more minutes. But remember, they firm up significantly while cooling!
No crinkle top?
The glossy, crackly top comes from thoroughly beating the sugar and eggs.
