Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 cup salted butter melted
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate Frosting
- 1/4 cup salted butter softened
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup milk (I use 2%)
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Pour the melted butter and cocoa powder in a large bowl. Using an electric hand-mixer, mix until smooth.
- Add the flour and sugar. Beat together, then add eggs and vanilla. Mix until just combined. Don't over mix. (Batter will be thick.)
- Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Bake 25 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean. Remove from oven and allow to stand for 15 minutes before frosting. You want the brownies slightly warm when you frost them!
Chocolate Frosting
- Beat together all the frosting ingredients until smooth. Spread over the warm brownies. Let brownies cool completely before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
