– 1/2 cup unsalted butter – 1 cup white sugar – 2 eggs – 1 tsp vanilla extract – 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder – 1/2 cup all-purpose flour – 1/4 tsp salt – 1/4 tsp baking powder
Melt butter in a saucepan, then stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Add cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until fully combined, forming a thick brownie batter.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square pan. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy your soft, fudgy homemade brownies with a glass of milk or ice cream!
