How to Make Diane's Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ 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 pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  8. For the frosting, beat together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 3 cups powdered sugar, and ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and creamy. Add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  9. Frost the cooled brownies and cut into squares.
