Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter until well incorporated. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and evenly mixed.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the prepared batter into the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter. The brownie cake should be set but still moist and fudgy in texture.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This helps the structure firm up and makes cutting easier. Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough brownies.
- Check the brownie a few minutes before the minimum baking time as ovens vary.
- Let the brownies cool completely for cleaner slicing.
