Servings: 12 brownies
Ingredients
CAKE:
- 1 c. butter melted
- 1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 2 c. granulated sugar
- 4 lg. eggs
- 4 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 c. pecans optional
CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
- 1/4 c. butter softened
- 1/4 c. milk
- 1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 c. confectioner's sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with foil and spray the foil with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- CAKE: In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, add the melted butter and cocoa powder; blend until smooth.
- Add the flour and sugar, mix until combined, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix just until combined. Don't over-mix (the batter will be thick). Stir in nuts if using. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the brownies from the oven. Let stand 15 minutes before frosting. You want the brownies still warm when you frost them!
- CHOCOLATE FROSTING: In a large bowl, beat together all of the frosting ingredients until smooth. Spread over warm brownies. Let cool completely before cutting and serving. Makes 12 large or 24 small brownies
