Fudgy Cocoa Brownie Recipe is a no-chocolate brownie recipe prepared with cocoa powder. Brownies are a classic American dessert. Do we debate about the finer points of brownies – fudgy, chewy, or cakey? Dark or milk chocolate? Warm and fresh from the oven or cool to the touch? Today, brownies can be found with a number of flavour variations and add-ons, such as peanut butter, mint, coffee, raspberry, white chocolate, almonds, raisins, candies, or caramel. But out of all these Cocoa Brownie is my second favourite flavour after Classic Chocolate Brownies (see recipe here), ultra-rich, deep, dark cocoa flavour, these brownies are fabulous.
I have used unsweetened good quality cocoa powder to prepare Fudgy Cocoa Brownie. The unsweetened cocoa powder also has two different varieties – natural and dutch process, so read the label while buying or using the cocoa powder. The Dutch process cocoa powder is treated with an alkali to mellow down the bitterness and to give baked goods a darker color. One more thing I love about making cocoa brownies is you are saved from the mess of chocolate melting, which is quite a task for lazy bakers like me.
