How to Make Intensely Chocolate Cocoa Brownies

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking pan.
In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter over medium heat.
Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup (90g) unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth.
Add 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is shiny and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips or 1/2 cup (60g) chopped walnuts (optional).
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake!
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
