Anti Depressant Brownies Recipes

CRAZY WACKY DEPRESSION CAKE

Steps:

• In a square cake pan (Dimensions: 8x8- Ungreased), add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, salt and whisk everything together.
• Use your finger to make 2 small holes and 1 large hole in this dry flour mixture.
• Pour vinegar and vanilla extract in the small holes.
• Pour oil in the large hole.
• Pour water over everything.
• Mix everything together until just combined. Don't worry if you have some lumps. Just don't over-mix or else you will end up with a rubbery cake.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until an toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• While the cake is cooling down, prepare the frosting: In a non-stick saucepan, add milk, butter and cocoa powder and mix until smooth.
• Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
• Add powdered sugar (1 cup at a time) until smooth and creamy.
• Pour this frosting over your entire cake and let it set in the fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes.
• Toss some sprinkles on top of the cake and enjoy!

CHOCOLATE WACKY CAKE (DEPRESSION CAKE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 9x13 rectangular baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until combined. Add in the oil, vanilla, vinegar and room temperature coffee OR water and whisk together until a soft, smooth batter comes together. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist but not wet crumbs. Cool completely.
• For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla and 2 Tablespoons of coffee OR water until a soft, pourable glaze comes together. If glaze is too thick, add more water, one Tablespoon at a time. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and spread it into an even layer. Allow the glaze to set, about 20 minutes, before cutting into squares.

ANTI-DEPRESSANT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Spray a 9x13" baking pan with cooking oil and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa and baking soda (I like to sift them together to destroy any lumps in the cocoa).
• Blend in the oil, and mix until smooth.
• Pour in the boiling water, stirring until the mixture thickens.
• Stir in the applesauce, the sugar, and the egg whites; mix until smooth.
• Add the flour and the vanilla; blend completely- there should be no lumps.
• Pour into the prepared baking pan.
• Spread the batter evenly to avoid crispy edges.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes (25-30 minutes if using a Pyrex pan), until just set in the middle.
• Let cool and cut into squares.
• Note: I've also halved this and baked it in an 8x8" glass pan and it was done in about 25 minutes.
