Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
7 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
5 cups confectioners’ sugar
6 tablespoons cocoa powder (for frosting)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
1/2 cup milk (for frosting)
1 cup chopped hazelnuts

Instructions:

Step	Description
1.	Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour a 9″ x 13″ rectangular baking pan.
2.	Sift together the flour and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
3.	In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of butter, 7 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup of water.
4.	Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until smooth and well combined.
5.	Slowly pour the hot cocoa mixture over the flour and sugar mixture, blending with an electric mixer until smooth.
6.	Add the buttermilk, eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to the batter.
7.	Beat the mixture with the electric mixer until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated and the batter is smooth.
8.	Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
9.	Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10.	As soon as the brownies are removed from the oven, hold the pan about two feet above a heat-safe surface, such as the stovetop or a wooden cutting board, and drop it. This trick helps to densify the brownies for that perfect fudgy texture.
11.	Transfer the brownies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
12.	In a separate mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and milk to make the frosting.
13.	Beat the frosting ingredients together until smooth and creamy, adding more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
14.	Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies using a spatula.
15.	Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the frosting, pressing them gently into the surface.
16.	Cut the brownies into squares or bars as desired.
17.	Serve and enjoy the irresistible combination of fudgy goodness and warm cinnamon flavors!
