Instructions
Step 1: Bake the Brownies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan.
- In a large bowl, cream the 1 cup oleo and 1 1/2 cups sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the 4 eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in the 1/2 cup cocoa, 1 cup flour, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until just combined.
- By hand, stir in the 1 cup nuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist, fudgy crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare and Apply Frosting
- In a medium bowl, cream the 1/2 cup oleo.
- Beat in the 1/4 cup cocoa and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
- Gradually add the 1 pound powdered sugar, alternating with just enough 3-4 tablespoons hot coffee to reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies until smooth and glossy.
