Mexican Brownies for #CincodeMayo #SundaySupper

Mexican Brownies

Welcome to our Sunday Supper Cinco de Mayo Party! Thanks Jen from Juanita’s Cocina for hosting this awesome event.
My contribution to our party is Mexican Brownies. Chewy chocolaty goodness with warm cinnamon undertones and a pinch of heat from a bit of cayenne. The smell of these baking is out of this world. Chocolate and cinnamon, wow its delicious!

  Many people think Cinco de Mayo is the same as Mexican Independence Day but actually it is a celebration which commemorates the victory of the Mexicans over the French in the Battle of Puebla.

According to our host, Jen, here in the U.S., Cinco de Mayo is an excuse to dance, eat spicy food, drink fruity booze, and fling churros around.  Basically…it’s the best Mexican party out there.
I can’t argue with that!

For those of you unfamiliar with our group,#SundaySupper is a mission started by Isabel of Family Foodie.  Her mission is to bring families around the dinner table to share meals and time together.  Every week, our #SundaySupper group shares a new theme.  This week’s theme is a celebration of Cinco de Mayo.

Mexican Brownies

This is my basic brownie recipe adapted from an old Betty Crocker cookbook. Our baker at work suggested the cinnamon (I used Saigon Cinnamon) and cayenne for Mexican flair.

Ingredients

  • 2 squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne

Directions
Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Set aside to cool.
When cooled, add sugar to chocolate/butter mixture. Stir.
Slowly incorporate the eggs.
Mix together flour, baking powder, salt and spices in a separate bowl. Stir dry ingredients into wet mixture.
Spread into a well buttered 8×8-inch baking pan.
Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes and until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before cutting and serving.
Of course if you accidently cut a piece while still warm, then you need to eat it!
