Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and parchment line an 8-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until the mixture is glossy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined.
  6. Spread the thick batter evenly in the prepared pan.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check the edges; they should be set. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs.
  2. Cool completely before lifting from the pan and cutting into squares.

Notes

Old Fashioned Fudge Brownies can be served warm with vanilla ice cream or topped with whipped cream and fresh berries. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 to 4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
