Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing it to hang over the sides for easy removal after baking.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with granulated sugar. Mix together until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the brownies remain tender.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

While the brownies are baking, prepare the chocolate frosting. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

Step 10

Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring until completely melted and smooth.

Step 11

In a medium bowl, sift the powdered sugar, then pour the chocolate mixture over it. Add 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until smooth and glossy.

Step 12

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top.

Step 13

Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies from the pan, transfer to a cutting board, and slice into 12 pieces. Serve and enjoy!
