Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter, melted
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
For the Frosting:
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Make the Brownie Batter:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and cocoa powder. Stir in sugar, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Add flour, vanilla, and salt, mixing until smooth.
Bake:
Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool slightly.
Prepare the Frosting:
While brownies are still a bit warm, beat together the softened butter, milk, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Spread the frosting evenly over the warm brownies.
Serve:
Allow the frosting to set before slicing into squares.
