Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square metal pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, melt the butter, then whisk in the sugar and cocoa powder until thick and glossy.
  3. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla, until smooth.
  4. Fold in the flour, salt, and espresso powder (if using) just until no dry streaks remain.
  5. Spread the batter into the pan, smooth the top, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes, lift out using the parchment, and slice into 16 squares.

Notes

For the fudgiest texture, let the brownies cool completely before slicing; they’re even better the next day. If you use a glass pan, expect a slightly longer bake time.
