How to Make Fudgy Orange Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh orange juice.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting. This allows them to set and become even more fudgy.
