Rich Fudgy Brownies

Made with cocoa powder alone — no melted chocolate — these brownies are delicious freshly baked, but get better by the day, becoming richer and fudgier as they sit.

step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and position rack in the center of the oven. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan or line with parchment paper.

step 2

Melt the Unsalted Butter (1 cup) in a medium saucepan. Add the Granulated Sugar (2 cups) and whisk until well combined. Add the Large Eggs (4) and Pure Vanilla Extract (1/2 tsp) and whisk until well blended.

step 3

In a large separate bowl whisk together the Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (3/4 cup), Unbleached All-Purpose Flour (2/3 cup), Baking Powder (1/2 tsp) and Salt (1/2 tsp). Transfer butter mixture to bowl with flour and stir with spatula or wooden spoon until batter is smooth.

step 4

Spread into prepared pan and bake for approximately 37-40 minutes. Insert a pairing knife or steak knife straight into center. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the brownies are done.
