Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Melted butter Adds moisture and enhances fudginess.
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar Balances the cocoa with sweetness.
  • 2 Large eggs Room temperature for smoother batter.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth; add eggs, vanilla extract, and red food coloring.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Baking

Notes

Don't overmix the batter to prevent cakey brownies. Allow cool completely for clean cuts and better flavor.
