Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened, for frosting)
- 0.5 cup Cocoa powder (for frosting)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup of brown sugar. Add the melted chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
Sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup of cocoa powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan.
While the brownies cool, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat 0.5 cup of softened unsalted butter until creamy.
Add 0.5 cup of cocoa powder and mix until combined.
Gradually mix in 2 cups of powdered sugar, alternating with 0.25 cup of heavy cream, until the frosting reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
