Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup crushed nuts
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside for later use.
- In another bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the batter, followed by a drizzle of caramel sauce and a sprinkle of crushed nuts.
Serving
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice into wedges and serve your brownie pizza as a delightful dessert.
Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate to extend freshness.
