Instructions
- Begin by melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once fully melted, remove the saucepan from the heat source to prevent further cooking.
- Stir in the cocoa powder until fully incorporated, then allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- While the chocolate mixture cools, take a mixing bowl and beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add this dry mixture to the egg mixture, stirring to combine thoroughly.
- Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, add it along with the vanilla extract to the batter, mixing well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
- Grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan, then pour the brownie batter into the pan, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the brownies for 25 to 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- After baking, allow the brownies to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- For the frosting, cream together the remaining butter, confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl.
- Gradually add milk until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
- Spread the frosting generously over the cooled brownies, ensuring every corner is covered.
- Finally, cut the brownies into bars, serve, and enjoy the delightful combination of fudgy goodness and sweet frosting!
