Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Melt the Butter and Mix the Cocoa: In a heatproof bowl, gently melt the butter. Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and well combined, forming a glossy chocolate base.
  3. Combine Sugar and Eggs: Whisk the sugar into the chocolate butter mixture, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each to create a shiny, thick batter.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour and salt, taking care not to over-mix. Add vanilla extract here for a fragrant lift to the brownie batter.
  5. Bake Until Fudgy: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  6. Cool and Cut: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set the fudgy texture, then lift out using the parchment paper and slice into squares.

Notes

  • Use quality cocoa powder and butter for the richest chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overmix to keep the brownies tender and fudgy.
  • Slightly underbake to maintain a gooey center; overbaking results in cakier brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely to allow the fudgy texture to set properly.
  • Use parchment paper in the pan for easy removal and cleanup.
