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
- Heat the oven to 350°F and line an 8 x 8 inch pan with parchment.
- Stir the melted butter and sugar together, then beat in the eggs and vanilla.
- Sift in the cocoa, flour, salt and baking powder and stir until just combined.
- 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.
