Luscious Lavender Brownies

1 1/4 cups cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate,
chopped
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
(optional)

12 tablespoons (1½ sticks)
     unsalted butter, cut into
     one inch squares
2 1/4 cups Little Sky lavender
sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
   (optional)

Either oil, spray with non-stick cooking spray, or line with parchment paper or foil, a 12x9 inch baking pan. Pre-heat oven to 325° F.

Combine flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside. Melt butter and chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl set over a saucepan of almost simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth. When chocolate mixture is smooth, remove bowl from saucepan and gradually whisk in lavender sugar.

Add eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition until thoroughly combined. Whisk in vanilla. Add flour mixture in three additions, folding with rubber spatula until batter is completely blended and smooth.

Transfer batter to prepared pan; using spatula, spread batter into corners of pan and smooth the surface.

Sprinkle nuts (if using) over batter evenly. Bake until toothpick inserted into the center of the brownies comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 30-35 minutes. Cool. Cut into 2 inch squares and serve.

These brownies freeze really well! We wrap them with plastic wrap, next with freezer paper, and then in a freezer-safe plastic baggie, just to be thorough. And... you can even eat them right out of the freezer. Or take them out of the freezer, defrost, and heat them for 10-15 seconds in the microwave for that out-of-the-oven baked yummy.
