Ingredients

  • Brownies
  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sale
  • 3/4 cup coffee
  • 3/4 cup soy milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, roasted and chopped
  • 1/2 cup carob chips
  • Glaze
  • 7 oz dark Belgian chocolate
  • 5 oz vegan margarine

Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a 9" x 9" pan by greasing it and then lining it with parchment paper.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, stir together the coffee, soy milk, and vegetable oil. Combine the wet and dry mixes into the prepared pan, sprinkle the top with carob chips, and bake for 25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool the cake on a wire rack.
  • When the cake is cool, prepare the glaze. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and vegan margarine. Whisk together very thoroughly to get a smooth, rather than a streaky, finish. Pour the warm glaze over the cake, smoothing it out over the surface. Place the pan in the fridge to set. Divide the pan of brownies into 12 squares and enjoy!
