Ingredients

For the Brownie Cake:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

For the Frosting (optional):

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2-3 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
• Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
• Add Eggs and Vanilla: Let the butter mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
• Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
• Bake the Cake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
• Cool the Cake: Allow the brownie cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, use the parchment overhang to lift it out and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the Frosting (optional): In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until smooth. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Frost the Cake: Once the brownie cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
• Serve: Cut into squares or slices and enjoy your delicious chocolate brownie cake!
