Simple and delicious chocolate brownies recipe and cake recipe of Christmas chocolate brownies or gingerbread brownies on our food blog and baking blog. The Christmas spices, such as gingerbread spice, baking cocoa and honey make the chocolate cake, which is served in small pieces, taste especially good in the pre-Christmas season.
Gingerbread brownies are a German-American hybrid that makes complete sense once you taste it. Lebkuchen spice — cinnamon, clove, allspice, cardamom, a little anise — does for chocolate what it does for honey cake, adding warmth and length without reading as Christmas cookie.
The brownie base should stay fudgy, which means more chocolate and less flour than a cake-style recipe, and pulling the pan while the center is still soft. Lebkuchengewürz is sold in German delis and online in the US; pumpkin pie spice is not the same thing but gets you two thirds of the way there if you add ground clove and a pinch of anise.
150 gplum jam quantity and flavor variety may vary
100 gchocolate chips (dark)
5 gspreadable butter
100 gwalnuts
Instructions
Melt butter in a larger saucepan on a stovetop.
Add gingerbread spice, baking cocoa and honey and stir.
Add eggs and milk and mix as well.
Prepare a mixing bowl with flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda and add the warm liquid chocolate spice mixture and mix.
It is best to place the finished dough on a baking tray lined with baking paper and baking frame (approx. 20x30cm).
Bake in oven preheated to 180 °C for about 20-25 minutes. Start 25 minutes timer here
For the filling, the cake must cool a little, so that it can be cut once across and unfolded.
Then spread the two sides with jam, depending on the amount you want, and fold them back together.
Melt the chocolate and a little butter in a water bath and spread over the cake.
Now spread walnuts (as whole pieces or chopped small) on the still liquid chocolate.
Cut cake into small brownie pieces when cool and store best in a tin.
Tip For the winter brownies, the gingerbread spice fits perfectly. If you want to bake a summer version, it is better not to use any spice. Also recommended is a berry jam or orange marmalade. As decoration for the chocolate icing I recommend coconut flakes instead of nuts.

Chocolate brownies recipe
Traditional and delicious chocolate brownies recipe with simple ingredients and easy instructions, step by step to follow and print. You can also serve this brownie cake as a whole cake if you prefer to have a big chocolate cake instead of small brownies.
Instructions for making the brownies
Melt butter in a larger saucepan on a stovetop. Add gingerbread spice, baking cocoa and honey and stir to combine. Add eggs and milk and mix as well.
Prepare a mixing bowl with flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda and add the warm liquid chocolate spice mixture and mix.
It is best to put the finished dough on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and baking frame (about 20x30cm).
Bake at top and bottom heat on preheated 180 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. For the filling, the cake must cool down a bit, so that it can be cut once crosswise and folded open. Then spread the two sides with jam, depending on the desired amount, and fold together again.
Melt the chocolate and some butter in a water bath and spread over the cake. Now spread walnuts (as whole pieces or chopped small) on the still liquid chocolate. After the cake has cooled, cut it into small brownie pieces and store them in a tin.
We recently baked this traditional cake, which originated in Poland, in the beautiful country kitchen of the Lösch für Freunde Hotel for the Kloster Hornbach blog.
There is no time better to be together with good friends in the kitchen than during the pre-Christmas season. We enjoyed our time in the kitchen with the recipe for our delicious chocolate cake or Christmas brownies and had a lot of fun baking.
For us, this cake and chocolate brownies recipe is one of our favorite recipes from now on, which we would like to share with our readers. These gingerbread brownies will probably now become a tradition in our home and baked in the run-up to Christmas, along with vanilla crescents and macaroons.
It smells during the preparation not only really delicious after Christmas, but makes thereby also directly a good mood. As soon as our brownies were decorated, we magically lured some of the house guests into our kitchen. Our delicious chocolate brownies recipe was only confirmed, which is simply the most beautiful thing when you have something prepared in the kitchen for guests and friends.
Delicious Christmas Brownies recipe
If you want to vary the chocolate brownies recipe a little you can of course add some cinnamon or omit the gingerbread spice after Christmas and use a little more baking cocoa. You can also omit the jam filling if you prefer cakes without jam. If you like it even sweeter you can also use a layer of chocolate spread for the filling.
In our version, we put the chocolate frosting all over the cake and cut the cake into little brownie pieces before the chocolate had cooled. This creates a nice light chocolate glaze on each piece. If you like it even more chocolatey you can also cut small pieces first and then pour chocolate over each small brownie piece.
Through our decoration with walnuts, the brownies still get a golden shine, which just fits perfectly with noble cake plates and makes the brownies look even shinier.
The finished chocolate brownies taste really delicious and let a good Christmas mood arise. For us, the brownies are something very special and, in addition to the Christmas taste, a great memory of really nice hours in Hornbach.
True, this cake tastes especially good at Christmas. However, with a few small modifications, it also tastes good in the summer. You can sprinkle coconut flakes on the chocolate instead of nuts. With the jam one chooses then strawberry as taste. The gingerbread spice is omitted completely and you have a summery chocolate cake variant.
The chocolate brownies recipe tastes great without the special spices and even without jam at all. Juicy and chocolatey delicious. Have fun trying it out!
