Vegan Brownies

1 1/2 cups unbleached flour

1/2 cup cocoa

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp. baking soda

3/4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

3/4 cups coffee

3/4 cup soy milk

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cups walnuts, roasted and chopped(optional)

1/2 carob chips(optional)

• Pre-heat oven to 325F. Prepare a 9×9 pan by greasing it and then lining it with parchment paper.
• Sift together the flour, cocoa, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, stir together the coffee, soy milk and vegetable oil. Combine the wet and dry mixes and stir well. Stir walnuts into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle the top with carob chips, and bake for 25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cook the cake on a wire rack.
• When the cake is cool, prepare the glaze. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and vegan margarine. Whisk together very thoroughly to get a smooth, rather than a streaky finish. Pour the warm glaze over the cake, smoothing it out over the surface. Place the pan in the fridge to set. Divide the pan of brownies into 12 squares.
