Servings: 12 squares
Calories: 234kcal
Ingredients
- 160 g Butter, melted (½ cup + 2 tablespoons after melting)
- 280 g Caster sugar (superfine sugar, 1 cup + 6 tablespoons)
- 55 g Cocoa powder (8 tablespoons)
- 3 Medium Eggs
- 150 g Plain flour (all purpose flour, 1 cup + 3 tablespoons)
- ½ Teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch tin with baking paper and preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). If you're using a fan or convection oven, set it to 140°C (285°F) instead.
- Mix the melted butter and sugar together. Then stir in the cocoa powder.
- Add the eggs and mix well until smooth.
- Add the flour and baking powder then mix everything together to make a smooth brownie batter.
- Pour the batter into your lined tin and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 mins. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs on it (not covered in batter or completely dry) and the edges should look set and crinkly.
- Let the brownies cool in the tin for a few hours then cut into squares and enjoy.
Notes
- Adding chocolate chips makes these brownies fudgy. If you want more texture, you can add a handful of nuts or cacao nibs.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
