These fudge brownies are rich, gooey, and perfect for any chocolate lover. Made with simple ingredients, they promise a satisfying treat any day of the week.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stove. Once melted, let it cool slightly before adding the granulated sugar.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
These brownies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
