Ingredients
Scale
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
⅔ cup cocoa powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs, beaten
Instructions
Prepare the batter:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat.
Gradually add the sugar to the melted butter, stirring until well combined.
Slowly add the beaten eggs, stirring constantly to prevent scrambling.
Stir in vanilla extract.
Combine the dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, mix cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined.
Bake the brownies:
Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow to cool before cutting into squares
Notes
For extra richness, add ½ cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter.
Adjust baking time slightly for a gooier or more cake-like texture.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
