Paula Deen Orange Brownies
You read that title correctly… Orange Brownies. I’m not sure when I made them Hubby even knew what to expect. I have had them before so I knew :). Let me just say, they are YUMMY! 🙂
Our PEO group had our summer talent table at my house and this was what I made for the Pot Luck portion. I love pot lucks. I get to make foods I like, get one or 2 bites and everyone else eats them, you know, so I don’t eat them all myself 🙂
I found this recipe, oh goodness, back in like 2003 or 2004 in her magazine. I unfortunately don’t remember which issue or even which year, I actually copied it down on a piece of paper. But somewhere at my house I think I still have the magazine… not sure. I also googled it and found the recipe on Food Network.
1 1/2 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
4 large eggs
2 tsp pure orange extract
1 tsp grated orange zest
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13x2in pan.
Stir together flour,
sugar
and salt in a bowl;
add butter, eggs, extract, and zest.
Using a mixer, beat until well blended.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 30-35 minutes, or until light golden brown and set. Remove from oven and pierce entire cake with a fork.
Glaze:
1 cup confectioner’s Sugar
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp grated orange zest
For glaze, mix all ingredients together and stir until smooth.
Pour glaze over cake. Cool and cut into squares. (I cut into squares after I put the camera away… use your imagination)
