Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour This is the backbone of your brownie.
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa powder Dutch-processed for richer flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder Helps the brownies rise slightly.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor.
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.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Deepens the flavor profile.
  • 1 tablespoon Red food coloring For the signature red hue.

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
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Allow the brownies to cool before slicing them into squares.

Notes

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