Ingredients

115 g unsalted butter melted
200 g granulated sugar
2 large eggs free range
1 tsp vanilla extract
40 g unsweetened cocoa powder
60 g all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking powder optional for a slightly lighter texture

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a square 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Stir until well mixed.
115 g unsalted butter, 200 g granulated sugar
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened.
2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt and baking powder (if using).
40 g unsweetened cocoa powder, 60 g all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp baking powder
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and glossy.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing into 12 squares.
