Servings: 16

Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Brownie Cake:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Chocolate Ganache Frosting:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

For the Pumpkin Patch Decoration:

  • 12-15 fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup orange candy melts
  • Fresh mint or basil sprigs, optional to resemble vines

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal, and grease the parchment.

  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat, add the sugar, and stir until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.

  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

  5. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl, let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Add the butter and stir until melted and glossy. Set aside.

  6. Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly, then line a tray with parchment paper. Melt the orange candy melts in a double boiler or according to package instructions. Dip each strawberry by the stem into the melted candy, coating completely, then place on the prepared tray to set.

  7. Remove the cooled brownie cake from the pan and spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the top.

  8. Place the dipped strawberries on top of each brownie portion, pressing gently to secure. Arrange mint leaves around the strawberries to create a pumpkin patch effect.

  9. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
