- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before cutting into slices.
Serving
- Cut the brownies into squares or slices and serve warm or at room temperature. Pair with ice cream for an extra treat.
Storage
- Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
