Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 1//2 cups flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Grease a 13" x 9" baking pan with butter or margarine.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together butter, sugar and vanilla until well blended.
- Add eggs and (remaining) dry ingredients and blend well.
- Pour into prepared pan and smooth out evenly with spoon or spatula.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool before cutting into squares.
Notes
- I use unsweetened Cocoa Powder for this recipe as the sugar allows for a nice sweet dessert. Dutch-processed cocoa powder contains an alkali to neutralize acids and can also be used.
- For best results use real butter - it adds richness and depth of flavor compared to margarine or butter substitutesl
- Baking time may vary. It is normal for the brownies to have crackly tops.
- For the perfect brownies, dip a knife in hot water after each cut.
