Brownie Cakes Recipe
A small addition to the well-known recipe and the usual chocolate dessert turns into an elegant cake. Those who have tried real brownies know that these are not very fluffy and porous products. That's how it should be! But I don't like it so much! So I added a little baking powder. To make it more festive, I also decorated it with Italian meringue. According to my idea, the base should not have been high, so I reduced the amount of dough and curd layer by 1/3 (from the one specified in the recipe). I took the form 20x26 cm . And lo! Brownie-based cake!

  5. Prepare the curd layer by whipping all the ingredients with a blender. A powerful blender in the processor makes cooking very fast. It is best to mix everything first at the first speed, and then switch to speed "2".

  6. Lightly defrost the blackberries (if using frozen berries) and add to the cottage cheese. In the pulse mode of the combine, grind it without trying to completely grind it. Leave 12 berries to add to the center of future cakes.

  9. Bake at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. Focus on the oven and do not over-dry, because the layers are colored and it is difficult to judge readiness by them. Check with a toothpick.

  11. Prepare Italian meringue. In a bowl with a thick bottom, add sugar, citric acid and water. Put the syrup on the fire and bring to a boil, stirring. During boiling, all sugar crystals should dissolve. When the syrup boils, reduce the heat and cook to 120 degrees (the dough will make a solid ball). Make sure that the syrup does not boil too much and does not begin to acquire a caramel color. In parallel, whisk the whites into a strong foam and, continuing to whisk them, pour in a thin stream of sugar syrup, brewing the whites. Proteins with the introduction of syrup will significantly increase in volume, meringue will become shiny, glossy. Beat the meringue until it cools down.Decorate the brownie blanks with meringue. It will already be quite elegant.
