How to Make Brownies: The Best Brownies Recipe with Cocoa Powder

How to make the best homemade brownies recipe from scratch using cocoa powder.

Ingredients:
10 tbsp of butter,
200g semi-sweet dark chocolate,
1 cup of granulated sugar,
cup of brown sugar,
3 eggs,
1 tsp of vanilla extract,
cup of all-purpose flour,
cup of pure cocoa powder,
tsp of kosher salt,
tsp of baking powder.

Instructions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 350F, oil your metal square pan with cooking spray or oil, and then line it with parchment paper and set that aside
2. In a large heat-proof bowl, combine 10 tbsp of butter, and 200g semi-sweet dark chocolate and melt for 30 seconds, stirring in between each burst until the mixture is melted and smooth.
3. Once you have achieved a smooth consistency, add 1 cup of granulated sugar, and cup of brown sugar to the hot butter mixture and mix vigorously until well combined. Leave to cool down until just barely warm.
4. Add in 3 eggs and 1 tsp of vanilla extract and whisk for about a minute or until perfectly combined, eggs help to bind the brownies together, the fat in the yolks adds richness, while the protein in the whites provides the structure which keeps the brownies from falling apart. also, this stirring process will help create a shiny crust on top of the brownies.
5. Go on and sift in cup of all-purpose flour, cup of pure cocoa powder, and tsp of kosher salt and if you like your brownie to be a bit on the fluffy side, add in tsp of baking powder or simply omit it if you dont mind. Make sure to use quality cocoa powder that you can lay your hands on, it will really make a difference in the end result.
6. Once the mixture is nicely combined and smooth, pour it into the prepared pan and smoothen the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. And here you go lovelies, our yummy brownie is out of the oven, you will know your brownies are ready when the sides are set but the center is still quite soft. Now, cool it for an hour before slicing.
9. Grab the two overhanging edges of the parchment and lift the cooled brownies straight up out of the pan and place them on a chopping board and use a sharp knife to slice into bars.
10. These homemade brownies are loaded with tones of chocolate flavor and also mixed with the perfect sweetness, guys you will definitely love this one, I promise.
