Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, sugar, and salt until evenly combined. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is uniform in color and texture.
- Bake the Brownies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter, ensuring they remain fudgy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares. This step helps the brownies set and enhances their fudgy texture. Serve plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar or cream cheese frosting if desired.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies tender and fudgy.
- Adjust baking times slightly if using a different pan size.
- For extra richness, top with a cream cheese frosting once cooled.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
