How to Make Fabulous Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not completely clean).
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
