by

Dive into the world of pure chocolate indulgence with these Ultimate Fudge Brownies. Rich, dense, and packed with intense cocoa flavor, these brownies are a chocoholic’s dream. Whether you’re looking for a quick dessert fix or a treat to impress at gatherings, this recipe promises a delightful balance between a crackly top and a fudgy, melt-in-your-mouth center. With a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you’ll have the best homemade brownies that rival any bakery.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (85g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Add the Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. The batter should look thick and glossy.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix, just combine until there are no visible streaks of flour.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: If you’re feeling extra indulgent, fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips for added richness.
  6. Bake: Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (you want the brownies to remain fudgy in the center).
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. For cleaner cuts, you can refrigerate the brownies for 30 minutes before slicing. Enjoy them plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
