1

Gather your chocolate dream team

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish. Assemble the necessary ingredients: 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, ¾ cup (90g) unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.

2

Mix like a dessert maestro

Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, then mix in the sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

3

Bake to brownie perfection

Pour the brownie batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. The toothpick shouldn't come out completely clean, as we want fudgy, not cakey, brownies. Take them out, and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

4

Cut, serve, and devour

Once the brownies are completely cooled, use a sharp knife to cut them into squares or any shape you desire. Serve them on a fancy dessert platter or go for the 'handful of brownie happiness' approach. However you choose to enjoy them, be prepared for smiles, requests for seconds, and a chorus of 'mmm' sounds.
