Buttermilk Brownies with Chocolate Ganache Icing

Rich, fudgy brownies and creamy chocolate ganache make for the ideal combination in these buttermilk brownies with chocolate ganache icing. The traditional brownie recipe is given a distinctive taste twist by the tart buttermilk, which makes the brownies incredibly tasty.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• For Chocolate Ganache Icing:
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Grease a 9 by 9-inch baking pan and preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat

Add the cocoa powder and stir until fully incorporated

Take it off the heat and allow it to cool a little

Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, sugar, and vanilla extract in a sizable mixing bowl

In the bowl, add the cocoa-butter mixture and stir until smooth

Add the salt, baking soda, and flour, sifting them in and stirring just until combined

Evenly distribute the batter after pouring it into the baking pan

For 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, bake in the preheated oven

Make the chocolate ganache frosting while the brownies cool

The heavy cream should be heated in a small saucepan over low heat until it starts to simmer

Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, semisweet chocolate chips, and a small pinch of salt

Stir until the ganache is smooth and the chocolate has melted completely

Pour the ganache over the cooled brownies after letting it cool a little

Use a spatula to evenly spread it

Cut the brownies into squares after letting the ganache set for approximately an hour

Present and savor!
