Ingredients
- 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus extra for buttering the dish
- 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup good cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean
- 1 tablespoon framboise liqueur, optional
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter a 2-quart (9 by 12 by 2-inch) oval baking dish. Melt the 1/2 pound of butter and set aside to cool.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs and sugar on medium-high speed for 5 to 10 minutes, until very thick and light yellow. Meanwhile, sift the cocoa powder and flour together and set aside.
When the egg and sugar mixture is ready, reduce the speed to low and add the vanilla seeds, framboise, if using, and the cocoa powder and flour mixture. Mix only until combined. With mixer still on low, slowly pour in the cooled butter and mix again just until combined.
Pour the brownie mixture into the prepared dish and place it in a larger baking pan. Add enough of the hottest tap water to the pan to come halfway up the side of the dish and bake for exactly 1 hour. A cake tester inserted 2 inches from the side will come out 3/4 clean. The center will appear very under-baked; this dessert is between a brownie and a pudding.
Allow to cool and serve with vanilla ice cream.

I have made many of Ina recipe's and I have enjoyed everyone of them. This recipe is no exception, it is divine. I used very good cocoa, frambois and the vanila pod that it called for. I did cook it in a water bath and exactly for 1 hour. It came out perfect and very yummy. I would suggest you use the ice cream to cut the richness. This recipe could be tweeked many different ways[coffee, liqueurs, ect]which I will try next time. This is a dish that will be talked about if you serve it to guests.Happy cooking!

I have never made anything of Ina's that I didn't like.. This was no exception. Very easy and delicious!! I didn't use the liqueur, as I didn't have any. I added coffee instead.. Very yummy! Thank you Ina... Again!

EXCELLENT & EASY! As a long time admirer of all things 'Ina' - this is another, in a long line of amazing and amazingly simple recipes! Of course I rushed out to do this dessert 'justice' and purchased two of the rather expensive oval dishes - which of course are a long time investment - something I'm certain Jeffrey would appreciate - but this serves up as well in a square and or rectangular dish. This dish never fails to impress and or perform! And a good ice cream -Vanilla Bean of Coffee- is a wonderful addition. Enough said?
