Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 8 oz. (1 cup) unsalted butter; plus more for the pan
  • 15¼ oz. | 432 g (2 cups) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 2½ oz | 72 g (¾ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 oz | 84 g (2/3 cup) unbleached all-purpose flour; plus more for the pan
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. table salt

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and position rack in the center of the oven. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan or line with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the sugar and whisk until well combined. Add the beaten eggs and vanilla and whisk until well blended. In a large separate bowl whisk together the cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt. Transfer butter mixture to bowl with flour and stir with spatula or wooden spoon until batter is smooth.
  • Spread into prepared pan and bake for approximately 37-40 minutes. Insert a pairing knife or steak knife straight into center. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the brownies are done.
  • Let cool completely in pan on rack. Brownies can be made two to three days in advance.
