Brownie Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the brownie cake evenly.
- Prepare Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking and to allow easy removal after baking.
- Melt Butter: Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat until fully melted without browning.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Remove the melted butter from heat, then stir in 2 cups of granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until all ingredients are fully combined creating a smooth batter.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold 1 cup of chocolate chips into the batter to distribute them evenly without deflating the mixture.
- Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool: Remove the brownie cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, firm pieces.
Notes
- For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake the brownies.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with chunks or nuts for added texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Letting the brownie cake cool completely helps in achieving cleaner slices.
