Ingredients
Brownies:
-
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 cups granulated sugar
-
4 large eggs
-
1 cup butter, melted
-
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
Frosting:
-
1/4 cup evaporated milk (or regular milk)
-
1/4 cup butter, softened
-
3 cups powdered sugar
-
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
-
In a large bowl, combine cocoa powder, flour, and sugar. Mix well.
-
Add eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
-
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While brownies bake, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat softened butter with cocoa powder and evaporated milk until smooth.
-
Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition, until frosting is creamy and spreadable.
-
Once brownies are completely cooled, spread frosting evenly over the top.
- Let frosting set before cutting and serving.
Notes
-
Use evaporated milk for a richer frosting, but regular milk works fine.
-
Ensure brownies are fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
- For extra texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate chips on top before frosting.
