Ingredients
Brownies:
- 1 cup oil*
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 6 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Frosting (optional):
- 1/2 cup butter , room temperature
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- 2-3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5-6 Tablespoons milk (or half and half, or cream)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix sugar and oil in a mixing bowl.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each egg is added. Add vanilla.
- Add dry ingredients: cocoa powder, salt, flour, and stir until combined.
- Bake: Pour batter into a greased 9x13'' baking pan and spread into an even layer. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely before frosting.
Chocolate Frosting:
- Cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add cocoa powder and salt and mix until well combined.
- Add vanilla. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, mixing well until you reach your desired frosting consistency. Spread frosting over cooled brownies.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Oil: You could use a combination of half butter half oil, or all butter. I've found using butter results in more cake-like brownies.
- Make Ahead Instructions: Make brownies 1-2 days ahead of time and store covered in the refrigerator.
- Freezing Instructions: Baked and cooled brownies freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, or on the counter.
