Ingredients Tap to tick off

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment.
  2. Stir the melted butter and sugar together, then beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  3. Sift in the cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder and stir until just combined.
  4. Spread in the pan and bake 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is set and a toothpick shows moist crumbs. Cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.
Chef's tipPull the brownies when a toothpick shows moist crumbs, not wet batter. They firm up as they cool; a clean toothpick means they are overbaked.
