National Brownie Day - Brownie Recipe
Cakes by Marina's Favorite Brownies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour + 1 tbsp for coating chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare an 8x8" aluminum baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray or wipe with a small amount of shortening.
2. In a bowl, combine the white sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
3. In a second bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
4. Beat the eggs, one at a time, into the sugar and butter mixture, until thoroughly combined.
5. Add the flour mixture in 2-3 additions, mixing slowly until just combined.
6. Toss the chocolate chips in about 1 tbsp of flour, and then fold into the batter (this will help keep the chips from all sinking to the bottom of the brownies).
7. Pour batter into prepared pan and use a rubber spatula to level off the top.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Brownies are done when edges are set and have started to pull away from the sides of the pan. The center may appear to be slightly jiggly, but will firm up once brownies have cooled.
If you're feeling extra decadent, serve brownies warm with a scoop of ice cream (and maybe some sprinkles!). Enjoy!
