How to Make Mom Binney's Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 11x15 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 cup all-purpose flour. Mix well.
- Add 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, and 4 large eggs. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 1 cup chocolate chips (optional, but highly recommended!). Gently fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely before frosting.
- **Chocolate Frosting:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ¼ cup milk, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1½-2 minutes without stirring.
- Remove from heat and immediately place the saucepan in a bowl of ice water to cool slightly.
- Once slightly cooled, beat with a whisk or electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Spread evenly over cooled brownies.
