I made this the first time I saw it and it turned out brilliantly but I used gluten free flour and it turned out like a cake.

And Cenk, please tell me you buy the pistachio’s already slivered, I simply have to chop mine in half.

I have baked brownies before and I mean some really delicious brownies, but I have never baked and eaten such a delightful brownie before. It also has plus side for me, I do not enjoy nuts in my browine. I omitted the coating as I was baking for my kids and I wanted it to be fuss free. Next time I’ll make a grown up version with the coating and the pistachios. Kudos for you!

by far, this is the most gourmet thing that I have ever baked,so millions of thanks…kudos for you….have always been a milk chocolate addict, thus, the flavor of dark chocolate was too dense for me, next time, I ll do the vice versa, using milk chocolate as the main ingredient, and dark chocolate on top. oh last but not least, here is a great accompaniment to your whore’s breakfast, daaa mr. pimp every whore has her pimp afterall aint’it?

from ‘the big book of breakfast’:Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 to 35 minutes for a 9-by-13-inch pan; 40 to 45 minutes for a Bundt pan
Yield: 8 to 12 servings

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the streusel: 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish or a nonstick Bundt cake pan (12-cup capacity) with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl, then add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add to butter-sugar mixture in 2 additions, alternating with sour cream. Beat well, and stir in vanilla.

Combine all the streusel ingredients in a small bowl.

Put half the batter into the pan (the batter is thick, so space even dollops into the pan and gently spread to even it out). Sprinkle half the streusel mixture over the batter, then dollop remaining batter over the filling and sprinkle with the remaining streusel. Using an offset spatula or your hands, gently press the streusel into the batter (only necessary if you’re using a Bundt pan). Alternatively, you can put all of the streusel mixture in the middle of the cake.
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake, about 30 to 35 minutes for a 9-by-13-inch pan, 40 to 45 minutes for a Bundt pan. Cool on a rack.
