Ingredients
  

Brownie Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour For slightly cakier brownies, use 1 1/4 cups.
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Natural or Dutch-processed.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted Can substitute with neutral oil for a softer crumb.
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring Liquid or gel; beet powder can be a natural swap.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir until glossy and smooth.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the red food coloring and vanilla extract until the color is uniform.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in two additions. Stir gently until there are no streaks of flour.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20–25 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should show a few moist crumbs.
  2. Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before lifting out and cutting into squares.
