How to Make Cake Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup water, and 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and add to a large bowl containing 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 cups granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Add 4 large eggs, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While brownies are baking, prepare the frosting: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/4 cup unsalted butter. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Do not boil.
- Frost the brownies immediately after removing them from the oven.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
