Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until cohesive.
- Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan.

- Let the brownies cool in the pan before slicing them into squares.
Notes
