Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt the Butter and Mix Cocoa – Gently melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave, then whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until fully combined and smooth to create a rich chocolate base.
  2. Step 2: Combine Sugar and Eggs – In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until thick and slightly glossy, adding air for moisture while keeping the density.
  3. Step 3: Add the Chocolate Mixture and Vanilla – Slowly fold the warm cocoa and butter mixture into the egg-sugar blend, followed by a splash of vanilla extract. Combining while warm helps the flavors meld beautifully.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate Flour and Salt – Sift in the flour and salt, folding gently to blend without overmixing, which keeps the brownies tender and fudgy.
  5. Step 5: Pour and Bake – Pour the batter into a lightly greased pan, smoothing the top for even baking. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

Notes

  • Use quality cocoa powder or chocolate for the best flavor depth.
  • Don’t overbake; remove brownies when the center is slightly underdone to preserve fudginess.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to help them set.
  • Use eggs and butter at room temperature for a smooth, even batter.
  • For extra gooeyness, add an extra egg yolk or replace some flour with almond flour.
