• ¼ cup (60 ml) milk (more if needed)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Brownies
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang for easy removal.

2. Melt the Butter and Combine with Sugars
In a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Let it cool slightly.

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla
Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.

5. Bake the Brownies
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before frosting.

Make the Chocolate Frosting

1. Beat the Butter
In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until light and creamy.

2. Add Cocoa and Sugar
Gradually add cocoa powder and powdered sugar, alternating with milk to reach smooth, creamy consistency.

3. Flavor and Finish
Add vanilla extract and beat for an additional minute until the frosting is fluffy and silky.

4. Frost and Slice
Spread the frosting generously over the cooled brownies. Use a butter knife or spatula to smooth the surface.
Let the frosting set, then slice into neat squares and serve.

Serving Ideas

• Top with chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or caramel drizzle

• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days or refrigerate for longer freshness
