Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cup flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Frosting
- ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups powdered sugar sifting optional
- ½ cup milk or heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray a 10x15x1 jelly roll pan or 13x9 baking dish lightly with cooking spray, set aside.
- Beat melted butter and ½ cup cocoa powder in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add flour and sugar and beat until well combined, but don't overbeat.
- Beat the eggs and vanilla extract until smooth; don't overbeat the batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes clean.
- While the brownies are baking, make the frosting. See the instructions below.
- Allow the brownies to cool for 15-20 minutes, then frost while the brownies are still warm.
- Let set until the frosting hardens.
- Cut to serve or store in an airtight container in a single layer.
Frosting:
- If you are sifting the powdered sugar, do that first. The step is optional; however, it makes the frosting smoother.
- Beat together all ingredients until smooth.
Notes
- You want your butter melted and cooled slightly – not hot. This helps mix your ingredients without affecting the eggs.
- Sifting the powdered sugar is optional, but it does make the frosting as smooth as silk. If I am making these for my family I usually don't bother, but if I am taking them to a potluck I sift the powdered sugar!
- To get those perfect squares, wait until the brownies are completely cooled. Then, use a sharp knife, and for extra precision, wipe it clean between cuts.
