Can a savory yeast extract transform a classic chocolate brownie?
In short: Inspired by an Australian food magazine, this experiment tests whether the salty, umami depth of Marmite or Vegemite can enhance a traditional chocolate brownie recipe.
The video demonstrates a recipe that incorporates 30 mL of Marmite or Vegemite into a chocolate base. The process involves melting 90g of butter with 170g of semisweet chocolate and 60 mL of cocoa powder, then whisking this into a mixture of eggs, sugar, and vanilla.
By adding the savory extract to the batter, the baker explores a unique twist on dessert. The brownies are baked at 180 ºC (350 ºF) for approximately 30 to 35 minutes until a tester comes out with only a few crumbs.
