You may wonder why this recipe is included on this German recipe site because it's not a traditional German recipe. Check out Gerhild's Quickies to find out why. The German twist? Almond flavoring!
This is the best brownie recipe I know. Especially for someone who wants to learn how to make brownies, this recipe is it.
It's so quick and easy to make. The only difficult part (and not that difficult) is the baking. Brownies need to be removed from the oven when a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out still moist, but not wet with batter.
Covered with chocolate-coffee icing, these brownies are hard to resist. (Almond flavoring instead of coffee would be nice as well.)
