REBECCA'S MARITIME BROWNIES

I met Rebecca when we lived in Fredericton , New Brunswick...she is a singer, we did a CD together at one point. We played for a lot of gigs, had dinner with her family, laughed and ate strawberries with sugar, and a seven layer salad that was the best. Rebecca gave me this great recipe  for brownies. They are wonderful. I've tried a lot of different concoctions. This one is the best. I think friendship is a lot like that..........the best.

REBECCA’S MARITIME BROWNIES (2011)

(Got this amazing recipe from my friend, Rebecca, who lives in New Brunswick. The brownie cake is dense and moist, great flavour, with a topping that is not too sweet and compliments the cake perfectly)

 First Mixture:

1 cup margarine
1/3 cup cocoa
1 cup water
    Put this in microwaveable bowl and melt.

 Second Mixture:

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar ( do not skimp)
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
½ cup milk
1 ½ tsp vanilla ( or brandy)
     Mix these ingredients all together, incorporate with margarine/cocoa/water ingredients.

Spread in greased 9 x 13” pan. Bake at 375 degrees for about 16 minutes. Add time until a sharp knife inserted in middle comes out clean. Do not overbake. Top the the following.................

TOPPING:
¼ cup margarine, ½ tsp vanilla, 3 tablsp cocoa, 1 tablsp milk.
      Boil this in microwave till bubbly. Then Add 2 ¼ cups icing sugar. Beat well. Pour immediately over top of brownies, as soon as you take pan out of oven. This is an amazing frosting…..Cut brownies  and serve as is, and watch people drool……can also serve with ice cream. Freezes well.
