Little secrets and important curiosities about the dough:


Due to being a more liquid mass, it needs a very good oven.
preheated for at least 10 minutes so that it doesn't sink.
Do not open your oven before 35 minutes under any circumstances.
(to avoid sinking in the center).
If you don't like coffee, you can take it out of the recipe and not
replace with nothing. (however, the coffee makes this dough so special).
Prefer fixed background forms, as they are more liquid.
can leak in the oven.

If you find the recipe too liquid, you can reduce it.
50ml of coffee and 50ml of milk. It works too.
Let the dough rest overnight to slice and
to fill. If you have difficulties making thin layers, you can
leave the dough in the fridge for 1 hour and slice it cold.
It becomes firmer and reduces the chance of crumbling.

Little Secrets Mousse


The cream must be the one from the box or if it's the one from the can, then no.
It may have no liquid. Prefer to work with cold heavy cream.
It is very important to remember that when you add the cream
of milk, you can't whisk too much... it's just for mixing

For this filling, I like to use Dois Frades cocoa powder.

preheated oven to 160°C for
20 minutes. When it starts to crack, take it out of the oven and let it cool.
cool for at least one hour before unmolding.
Little Brownie Secrets

It is important that the chocolate is hot at the moment that


you mix it into the dough. So that it does not receive shock
thermal and do not weigh its mass.

Do not leave your Brownie in the oven for more than 20 minutes.
He can't bake it too much otherwise it turns into cake and loses the
creaminess inside.

Oven time: for electric ovens and with ventilation the Brownie
it reaches the right point baking for 20 minutes at 160 degrees. For the
gas ovens noted that the ideal time is about 50 minutes!
Remember that the Brownie is not a cake, it has to be firm but
creamy on the inside. I suggest gently probing its dough in the oven..
When you notice that it is already firmer, you can take it out and leave it.
finish baking outside the oven by heat induction.
To slice your Brownie, wait until it is 100% cooled.. helps
at the time of cutting because it will be firmer!
Brownies are always tastier the next day.
I advise consuming within 5 business days.

Hello, how are you???
Here are my favorite recipes.

Before we begin, I would like to talk about the measures.


Ingredients can be added by grams or
by cups. I particularly like to work with
cup measure. To make the recipe work, just use
the same cup measurement for all ingredients.
I will put here the conversion list of cups in
grams if you prefer to make the recipe with a scale.

1 cup of wheat flour = 140 grams


1 cup of sugar = 180 grams
1 cup of cocoa powder = 65 grams
1 cup of oil = 180 grams or 150ml
1 cup of milk = 150ml
1 cup of water = 150ml
1 tablespoon of baking powder = 10 grams
It is worth remembering that these measurements are of the utensils that
I use (the measurements may vary according to your cup
or you can measure or even look at the brand of the products.

we use the dye to intensify the color, but the reaction of the milk,
vinegar and cocoa are already quite interesting.

One curiosity is that in the past (more precisely in the


World War II) At the time of the conflict, it was necessary

All coffee shops and bakeries must have Red Velvet on the menu.
