             Merry Christmas everybody !! My blog writting is kinda intrerrupted at the moment since i am very busy and also i got camera problems .... meaning yes i have no camera anymore for making photos of my dishes but i hope this problem will soon be solved ( hope so since Santa still exists )  .

           Anyway i was thinking that since it's Christmas we should all lay back , have a snack , eat some sweets , dance on many beats ... keep the Christmas Spirit funky and yummy .
           The recipe i am about to share with you guys is ... Brownies baby !!!! Ohhh Yeahhhh the spirit of Christmas in one touch ! Chocolate with wallnuts , orange zest , sour cherries yummyyyyyy Christmas baby ... their fluffy texture and extremly chocolate yumminess makes it perfect for a Christmas evening , serving your fammily or girlfriend or maybe guests you want to impresss .
 
            This dessert is so easy to make and it only demands just a little bit of your personal energy .
            So let's go on with the recipe !
            The ingredients you require are :
                                  -   200 g of dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids )
                                  -   250 g of unsaltted butter with 82% fat or more
                                  -    a pinch of salt
                                  -    6 tablespoons of cocoa powder
                                  -    4 eggs
                                  -    4 tablespoons of flour mixed with 1 teaspoon of baking powder
                                  -    300 g of caster sugar
                                  -    100 g of wallnuts
                                  -     100 g of sour cherries
                                  -     1 orange
           
           You start off by preparing the bain marie ( that means waterbath ) so you need a pot of water and a bowl to cover the pot but you should be making sure that the bowl on top doesn't touch the water in the pot.
           You then add 200 g of chocolate , 250 g of butter , a pinch of salt , 6 tablespoons of cocoa powder and mix them gently untill fully melted.
           When fully melted add 4 whisked eggs step by step and keep stiring so the chocolate doesn't seize up.
            Add then then the 300g of sugar and mix well . Add the 4 tablespoons of flour mixed with 1 tablepoons of baking powder , step by step and mix well untill fully incorporated .
             Take a baking tray and baking sheet . Put the baking sheet paper and soak it in water so it becomes pliable . Add it to the baking tray and rub a  bit of butter on it , then add the mixture of chocolate .
              Sprinkle some toasted wallnuts on top , sour cherries , and some orange zest and put then the tray in the preheated oven for 17 min max 20 , the temperature should be on medium , about 170 , 180 degrees .
              Do not cook the brownies full , otherwise you will experience dry brownies and that is so uncool !

              The perfect brownies should be still a bit wet in the center and when they chill out  they should be just perfect . It really is simple just don't cook the brownies 2 much .
                Serve the brownies with some orange wedges and that's it guys !

               You can pimp your own brownies it isn't necesarry to do them with wallnuts and orange zest , you can add bits of white chooclate and cinammon for example and that can be surprinsigly good aswell , try your own style of brownie !!

                I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and let's hope we shall have a new and more wonderfull year . So keep on baking guys cause this is the season to be jolly , this is the season full of sweets !

               I'll see you guys on my next post ! Au revoir ! :D

               P.S.                                        Bon Appetit !
