How to Make Brownie Cake Love

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ½ cup unsweetened applesauce until light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour in the cooled melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.
  7. Stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (optional). Feel free to add other mix-ins like ½ cup chopped white chocolate, raisins, or chopped candy bars.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the brownie cake cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
