Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Allow the brownies to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
