How to Make Cocoa Cake Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
