Chocolate ,chocolate, chocolate!Its chocolaty atmosphere at my place.My daughter and myself can live just on chocolates.I just love eggless chocolate bakes.I baked this brownie yesterday on Sanjus demand.I had prepared one more version from one blog,but this came out better than that.My baker buddy Lakshmi says Brownies are cut into squares,but I didn't find have a square tin, of course I could have cut it into squares,next time will do better. Theres always a next time.And I do follow all the small tips given by her.This brownie can be had as a sizzling brownie with vanilla ice cream in a sizzler plate.This is my second sizzler plate which I had mentioned in my Babycorn schezwan sizzler Italiano post.My son wanted to cut the brownie into gingerbread man shape so did one for him since he is very fascinated with that shape.

My notes:
Use fresh buttermilk or curds,mine was little sour, so I could make out mild sourness in the cake.
The recipe calls for 3/4 cup sugar but I would go for 1 cup.
I used powdered sugar.
Brownies are mostly cut into squares.
My brownie is little over baked ,it is better to keep it little goey.
Some brownie recipe calls for icing sugar substitute to granulated sugar.
