Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch baking pan greased
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs

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.

How to Serve: Serve with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Make-Ahead Tips: Bake a day ahead and store in the fridge for extra fudginess.
