Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup melted butter or neutral oil
  • ¾ cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons hot water or hot coffee for deeper chocolate flavor

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add melted butter (or oil), milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until a thick, smooth batter forms.
  4. Stir in hot water or coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor and improve texture.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is set but the center still feels slightly soft.
  7. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into squares for the best fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Do not overbake; slightly underbaked brownies give a fudgier texture.
  • Use good quality cocoa powder for richer chocolate flavor.
  • Coffee enhances chocolate taste but does not make it taste like coffee.
  • Let brownies cool fully before slicing to avoid crumbling.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days at room temperature.
