Recipe
Ingredients in this recipe
- 1/2 cup (120 g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs or 3 regular ones
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup (40 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Step-by-step instructions
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. I prefer to melt in a classic small saucepan, but it’s up to you. Mix the granulated sugar into the butter until well combined.
- Then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In another separate bowl, sift the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder. Mix all the dry ingredients together.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until combined. Be careful not to mix, so that air does not get into the dough unnecessarily.
- Turn on and preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Use a roughly 8×8 inch baking pan and grease and flour or line it with parchment paper. Leave an overlap of baking paper on at least two sides for easy removal of the baked brownies.
- Pour the prepared cocoa dough into the prepared baking pan lined with baking paper and spread evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overcook the brownies, otherwise they won’t be pleasantly fluffy.
- Remove the baked brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the tray.
- After they have cooled down thanks to the excess of baking paper, easily remove the brownies from the baking sheet. Cut the finished brownies into squares and serve.
