Chocolate Brownies with Streusel Topping

Today it hasn't stopped raining for more than 10 minutes and I'm alone at home. So I guess it's the best day for some chocolate treatement and I bake myself brownies. But not just brownies, brownies with streusel topping... and I LOVE streusel :)

Chocolate Brownies with Streusel Topping

makes about a dozen


For the streusel topping
50g melted butter
80g sugar
20g cocoa powder (unsweetened)
50g floor

Mix everything in a small bowl and crumble with a fork. Then put it in the fridge while you're preparing the batter for the brownies.

For the brownies:
120g butter
200g sugar
80g cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1tsp instant espresso powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extrakt
100g floor

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
Prepare a pan with simmering water and put butter, sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder and salt in a heatproof bowl and place it over the pan. Let butter melt and stir it from time to time until the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the pan and let it cool a little.

Mix in vanilla and then add eggs one at a time and combine well. After that add the floor and mix until it's incorporated. Prepare a baking container and spread the batter evenly in it. In the end sprinkle with streusel. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy!
