Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For Decoration
- Red food coloring
- Blue food coloring
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
Decoration
- Divide the white chocolate chips into two bowls. Add a few drops of red food coloring to one and blue to the other, stirring until the color is even.
- Once the brownies are cool, drizzle the colored white chocolate over them. Arrange fresh strawberries and blueberries on top in a decorative pattern.
Serving and Storage
- Cut the brownies into slices and serve as a festive treat at your summer gatherings.
- Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
