DARK VICTORY BROWNIES

Category: Brownies/Blondies

3 oz bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
14 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 & 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 325°. Line a 9-inch square pan with foil so that 2 inches hang over two opposite sides. Grease the foil.

Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl.

Using a wooden spoon, beat in cocoa powder and sugar until well blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in sour cream and vanilla extract. Add flour and salt. Mix just until blended. Stir in pecans.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 40-45 minutes or until done. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached. Cool in pan on wire rack.
