Basic Brownies

April 12, 2013

Brownies are essential to my happiness, so naturally, nailing a go-to brownie recipe was crucial. I've found that this one is not only insanely simple, it also produces perfectly fudgy, slightly cakey but super moist brownies every time. Plus it's a great basic recipe that can be modified with the addition of nuts, chocolate chips, candies, cheesecake batter... you name it.

Basic Brownies
½ cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt 
¼ teaspoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 350° and grease and flour an 8-inch square pan. 

Melt butter in a large saucepan and remove from heat. Stir in sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat in the remaining ingredients and spread in prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
