Total time: 55-60 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:

For the base:
- 8 large squares of baking chocolate (approximately 200 g)
- 1 cup of butter (approximately 200 g)
- 5 large eggs
- 2 cups of sugar (approximately 400 g)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of flour (approximately 250 g)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 packet of baking powder (10 g)
- 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder (approximately 15 g)

For the cream:
- 1 packet of Dr. Oetker caramel cake cream (or your favorite flavor)
- 200 ml of Hulala whipped cream (or liquid cream)

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preparing the oven and the pan:
Start by preheating the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. This step is essential for achieving a uniformly baked cake. Then, grease a pan with oil and dust it with flour (or, for more convenience, you can use parchment paper).

2. Melting the chocolate and butter:
In a saucepan over low heat, add the chocolate and butter cut into cubes. Stir constantly to avoid burning the ingredients. Once they have melted into a smooth and glossy mixture, remove the pan from heat and let it cool slightly.

3. Mixing the ingredients:
In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. This is the stage where your dessert will gain air and volume, so make sure to mix for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes creamy and light in color.

4. Incorporating the chocolate:
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and gently fold it in. Then, add the flour, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Use a spatula to combine the ingredients, being careful not to overmix so that you retain the air in the mixture.

5. Baking the cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When it's done, remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool completely.

6. Preparing the cream:
Follow the instructions on the package to prepare the cream. Usually, this involves mixing the powder with water or milk using a mixer. Make sure the cream is well whipped and has a fluffy consistency.

7. Assembling the dessert:
Once the base has cooled completely, spread the cream evenly over the surface of the cake. Then, add a generous layer of whipped cream over the cream to add a touch of freshness and texture. If desired, you can sprinkle cocoa powder or grated chocolate on top for an attractive appearance.

8. Serving:
Cut the cake into squares and serve it with a cup of coffee or a fragrant tea. It is a dessert that pairs perfectly with a gathering of friends or a relaxing evening at home.

Useful tips:

- Choosing the chocolate: Opt for high-quality chocolate with a high cocoa content for a more intense flavor.
- Varying the flavors: If you want to personalize your dessert, you can add chopped nuts or dried fruits to the batter.
- Cooling trick: Once the cake is out of the oven, you can let it cool in a ventilated area to avoid condensation.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I replace the butter? Yes, you can use margarine or coconut oil, but the taste will vary.
- How do I store the cake? Keep the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will last up to a week.
- Can I use another type of cream? Sure! You can experiment with vanilla, chocolate, or fruit creams.

Nutritional benefits:

This brownie with cream is rich in antioxidants due to the chocolate, and the eggs provide essential proteins. However, remember that it is a dessert, so enjoy it in moderation.
