Description

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.
