Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1/2 lb unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
• 2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup good cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• seeds scraped from 1 vanilla beans or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon framboise liqueur

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• 2 lightly butter a 2-quart (9 x 12 x 2-inch) oval baking dish.
• 3 melt the 2 sticks butter and set aside to cool.
• 4 sift the cocoa powder and flour together and set aside.
• 5 in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs and sugar on medium-high speed for 5 to 10 minutes, until very thick and light yellow.
• 6 lower the speed to low and add the vanilla seeds or pure vanilla extract, framboise, and the cocoa powder and flour mixture.
• 7 mix only until just combined.
• 8 with the mixer still on low, slowly pour in the cooled butter and mix again just until combined.
• 9 pour the brownie mixture into the prepared dish and place it in a larger baking pan.
• 10 add enough of the hottest tap water to the pan to come halfway up the side of the dish and bake for exactly 1 hour.
• 11 a cake tester inserted 2 inches from the side will come out three-quarters clean.
• 12 the center will appear very under-baked; this dessert is between a brownie and a pudding, it will be ooey and gooey good!
• 13 if you wish to omit the framboise you could add coffee extract or cinnamon.
