A craving

I spent a good part of this week, working on my little weekend project. Guess, these days, my speed is not as great as before. Or perhaps it is because I am always out of the house and thus time management is crucial.



With it out of the way, I finally found time to make my Cheesecake Brownies. A bake that I had not done for a long time. Actually I was weighing whether to do a sponge cake which I had failed in my last attempt or to do a brownie.



My hubby being a chocolate lover (so am I), I decided that the sponge can wait for another day. Come to think about it, only my little princess is not crazy over chocolate. Not counting my prince as he is such a sugar holic, anything sweet is a welcome for him. LOLz.



This is relatively an easy recipe. In fact, I was so lazy that I just used a spoon, a whisk and two bowls to prepare this.



In the meantime, say cheez! Another weekend and I hope the weather will hold as such. Breezy.







What you need:



170g unsalted butter

230g bittersweet chocolate

230g sugar

4 large eggs

160g plain flour

18g cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 large egg yolk

1/2 tsp vanilla
