Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1.2g) baking powder
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking vigorously until the batter becomes glossy and smooth.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, all purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stop as soon as the last streak of flour disappears to avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until the edges are firm but the center has a slight jiggle.
- Remove from the oven. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
