Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200 grams) white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup (35 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) all-purpose flour
Fats and Liquids:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350°F and coat the baking pan with butter and flour to prevent sticking.
- Create a rich chocolate base by melting butter in a large saucepan, then remove from heat and incorporate sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-blended.
- Gradually fold in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder, ensuring a consistent mixture without overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
- Evenly distribute the batter across the prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it smoothly and create an uniform surface.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, watching carefully to avoid overcooking and maintain a moist, fudgy consistency.
- Remove from oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, which helps them set and makes cutting easier.
- Once cooled, slice into precise square portions, ensuring clean edges for an attractive presentation.
Notes
- Check butter temperature to ensure smooth mixing and even texture when melting.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for richer, more intense chocolate flavor.
- Avoid overmixing batter to prevent tough, dense brownies – mix just until ingredients combine.
- Line pan with parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner cutting of brownie cupcakes.
