Is Ina Garten's Brownie Pudding Up To the Hype?

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

In a large bowl, combine 2 sticks of melted butter and 2 cups of sugar, mixing at low speed before increasing to medium.

Add 4 eggs one at a time, mixing until the mixture becomes light yellow and has a ribbony texture.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Prepare the vanilla bean by scoring it and scraping out the seeds, adding the seeds to the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of raspberry liqueur (Chambord) to the mixture and mix well.

Sift together 3/4 cup of cocoa powder and 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, then fold into the wet ingredients gently.

Butter an oval casserole dish liberally with a piece of butter to prevent sticking.

Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it into an even layer.

Place the casserole dish into a larger baking dish to create a water bath (bain-marie).

Fill the outer baking dish with hot tap water until it reaches about an inch up the sides of the casserole dish.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
