Ingredients

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until combined.

Step 3

Let the sugar-butter mixture cool for 2-3 minutes, then whisk in the eggs one at a time until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the milk to create a smoother batter. If you're using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your Cocoa Cake Brownies as a snack or dessert!
