This weeks Dorie recipe was chosen by the lovely Clivia of Bubie's Little Baker. Her blog title makes me smile, because I had a Bubbie and I've become her little baker, too.
Clivia chose Ginger Jazzed Brownies, which I must have flipped past at least a dozen times in the past few years. It never really appealed to me, which is strange because I love ginger and I love brownies. Who knew that they could taste so fabulous together!? The brownies are fudgy, a little cakey, and very chocolatey...while the ginger spice and heat comes through at the end. I nearly tripled the amount of ginger the recipe called for, because I knew some of it would bake out in the process. I think I acheived a good balance of chocolate and heat - not too spicy, but just enough so that you know it's something special!

Triple is a lot of ginger. My tastebuds are tingling at the thought. Glad you enjoyed them.
Thanks for baking with me this week!
They look great, nice and plump!
those look good...nice and tall!
Lucky you, increasing the ginger. I had my grandchildren over and was afraid to add more than a little. Brownies are brownies to them.
I used only a bit more ginger and wish I had tripled it, too. Even though there is a slight ginger after-taste, some more would not have been worse.
