Wishing you a lovely Valentines day guys n gals..!!!Have a blast n enjoy with your love..!!
I was waiting for my cam to arrive,so that I can bake n take pics of something special on Val's day..But that dint quite happen.I couldn't stop wailing when my online order got canceled twice n my so-nice sweetheart,finally took me after his strenuous day to a nearby mall n bought me the cam.My Val's day gift.(well..one of 'em..:P)...chweet na..That was yesterday night n today I am running crazy.No time to bake n photograph.Moreover I guess,I need to do a bit of research before start clicking it..
Love synonyms to chocolate,candlelight dinner,moonlit night,humming I'll be your wish..,walk by the beach,cuddle n some lovey-dovey things like that..frivolous yet so ubiquitous..Things that make our insides go mushy n mellow...For me it reminds so much of our Mauritius HM trip...:)

So..for the favor of the cliche thing ,leme post an easy chocolate recipe,that I made couple of days back..Inspired by Divya's easy MW brownie recipe and one that was there in Delicious magazine,I made it..Thanks to both of them.:)..Divya has some perfect pics of them,excuse me again..(yay..I got a new cam..lala..but don expect any miraculous snaps here anytime soon..:D)As she says,to make it healthy you can use Whole wheat pastry flour instead of AP flour..:)

Sift :
1/2 cup All Purpose Flour n 1/2 tsp Baking powder
and keep aside.
Melt
4-5 Tbsp Unsalted butter 4 oz. Bitter Sweet Dark chocolate
in a bowl in microwave.Whisk together smooth.
Whisk together or beat at low speed:
1/4 cup Sugar 3-4 Tbsp Honey(Adjust b/w sugar n honey..I added more honey) 2 Eggs.
Add:
1 tbsp Vanilla
to it.
We need:
A handful of silvered almonds,craisins n chopped walnuts
Also lightly flour some craisins if u like it remain on the top of batter
and keep aside.
We also need:
1/4 cup Semisweet Chocolate chips
to sprinkle on top
Now simply add the egg-sugar-honey-vanilla mix to the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mix n stir n mix well.
Add the sifted flour-baking powder mix to it and mix well until fully blended.Fold in the nuts n fruits.Transfer it to a greased round/square MW safe dish of some height.
Sprinkle with the floured craisins .

I microwaved for 4 minutes only,as my MW is a quite powerful one.Chips can be added between the 2nd n 3rd minute I guess.Because I added in the beginning and all of them melted off and couldn't even get a trace of it..:(..Also I was short of craisins,have this habit of nibbling it now n then,so you wont be able to so many of them too..:D.
After taking out of MW,give it a rest of atleast 3 mins before attacking..:D
Enjoy with a dollop of cold ice cream or as such,which I love..:)

Mmmm!!! YUM YUM! Brownies look great, perfect for V day. huh? Enjoy! :))
Lovely brownies.I too had made brownies in microwave and had also drooled over Divyas and now yours.
Thanks for the comment and query.I will tell you what I know regarding the sour cream substitution.If you do not have sour cream substitute it with equal quantity of plain yoghurt -.Else you can make your own sour cream by adding 1 tbsp(lemon juice or vinegar) + 1 cup whole milk/heavy cream to get 1 cup sour cream
You cannot directly sub sour cream with whipping/heavy cream as sour cream is acting as an acidic ingredient along with baking soda and provides moistness to the cake and improves the texture.It is also supposed to be a fattening agent in certain recipes,that do not have eggs or butter or oil.So it can be used as a replcer for oil/butter as well.In my cupcakes it is an acidic ingredient as it is sour or fermented and so only another acidic ingredient can be used to replace it.This is as far as I know,and hope
I did not confuse you more.Easier way,buy the sourcream or use yoghurt.Cheers,enjoy the brownies HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
Lovely & quick brownie, Happy V day :)
