Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth.
Stir in the granulated sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey bite.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
Dust the brownies with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Enjoy!
