Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 4
Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Stir in the milk to help loosen the batter slightly and improve the cake-like texture.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 9
Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Cake Brownies! They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
