Cheese Marble Brownies
This lovely brownie is Sabrina's (eldest daughter) favourite and she always makes it whenever we have a function or guests over. It's become a favorite and if you like the taste of dark chocolate or cheese ..then this is something for you to try out. The combination of a mild bitter chocolate taste with cheese is simply yummy. We made this together ...making a double recipe and dividing it into 3 loaf pans. There are various recipes over the web that are really good but the one we made however was improvised a little to suit our taste buds and convenience.
The trick to making a dense and fudgy brownie is to reduce the amount of flour and omitting baking powder. Also, incorporate as little air as possible when mixing the batter, so hand mixing with a wooden spoon is preferable for this texture. However, with the one we made, the recipe called for a little baking powder only to the chocolate layer. This made the chocolate base more of a cake base with the heavy cheese layer on it.
