Buttermilk Brownies with Chocolate Buttermilk Frosting

If you don't tell someone these very rich squares of goodness are gluten free, they would never know! I promise!

Buttermilk Brownie with Chocolate Buttermilk Frosting & Chocolate Covered Strawberry

Here is my recipe:
2 cups Jackie's Quick Flour Blend (click for recipe)
2 cups sugar
1 2/3  tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes), softened to room temperature
2 teaspoons  baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs

Chocolate Buttermilk Frosting
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes), softened to room temperature
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

Here is how I did this:

1. Mix flour, sugar and cocoa thoroughly.

2. Combine water and butter in saucepan. Bring to a boil. (Note: Butter should be at room temperature BEFORE combining with water. If not, water will come to boil too quickly.) Pour over flour mixture. Beat at low speed until completely blended. Turn to high; beat mixture until smooth. Add baking soda, buttermilk and eggs. Mix well (approximately 3 to 5 minutes on medium speed).

3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. Pour into a 15x10x1-inch pan. Allow to sit on cabinet 15 minutes prior to placing in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven. Bake 21 to 26 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Be careful not to over bake. Allow to cool 10 ten minutes before icing with Buttermilk Frosting.

Chocolate Buttermilk Frosting:

1. Mix cocoa, buttermilk and butter in saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. (Note: Butter should be at room temperature BEFORE combining with other ingredients. If not, the buttermilk will come to a boil too quickly.) Remove from heat once combined mixture reaches a boil.

2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix thoroughly. Spread evenly over warm brownies. Allow to cool at least one hour before cutting into squares.
