Milk: 3-4 tablespoons (adjust for desired consistency)
Instructions
Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir until well combined. The batter will be thick.
Bake:
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to keep the brownies moist.
Prepare the Frosting:
While the brownies are baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter and cocoa powder until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, whisking until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
Frost the Brownies:
Once the brownies are done and still warm, spread the frosting over them. The heat from the brownies will help the frosting spread easily.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the frosted brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This makes them easier to cut and serve.
Cut into Squares:
Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares. The size of the squares can be adjusted based on your preference.
