9) Frosting should be done when the brownies are still warm.

10)  That’s it!!! Enjoy your cup cake brownie.

NOTES :

1) As my cake pan is very wide I used cup cake moulds  ,if you have smaller size (8” pan) pan you can bake them in pan itself to get better texture than mine.

2) Frosting is optional but I recommend it as it gives perfection to your brownies.

3) Use good quality cocoa powder ( I used Cadbury).

4) When the brownie top looks cracked and edges look dry you can remove from oven , it is the right consistency of baked brownies ( if needed you can insert tooth pick and check if it comes clean)
