ok, disclaimer: i don’t really have an old favorite brownie recipe, so the title of this post is a bit of a misnomer. but this recipe, this amazing recipe, yielded the most delicious, fudgy, and scrumptious brownies that i’ve ever baked.
hi my dear readers! how are you? i have some news to share! remember how i hinted at big changes way back in april? well it’s officially official! i’ve accepted admission to a masters of public administration program at the university of washington, and mike and i will be moving up to seattle at the end of the summer. it’s going to be a big change for us – we’re excited to try living in a new city, and i’m excited to go back to school, but we’re also going to miss all of our friends and family here in california.
a couple of years ago, my aunt sent us the gift of a creme brulee kit, complete with ramekins and a mini blow torch. i was so excited by this present that i got a little creme brulee happy, and made the dessert more times than i can count (the pic below is from that era of creme brulee at every party, circa 2006).
in case you missed part one of the vegan cupcake extravaganza, i’ll catch you up to speed. jamie, tyler, mike, and i perused the cookbook vegan cupcakes take over the world, by isa chandra moskowitz and terry hope romero, and bit off more than we could chew in one night by selecting two recipes. we started the project late in the evening, and didn’t thoroughly read the directions for the creme pie cakes, which includes not one, not two, but THREE steps of chilling ingredients for at least an hour.
