Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Grease a 20 cm × 20 cm (8×8 in) baking pan and dust it with cocoa powder.
- 2
Melt the butter and allow it to cool slightly.
- 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sifted sugar until the mixture is pale and smooth.
- 4
Pour in the melted butter, then fold in the sifted cocoa powder and flour. Stir until you have a smooth, lump-free, glossy batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes, until the top is matte and a thin crust has formed.
- 6
Cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra fudgy brownies, remove from the oven when the center still jiggles slightly — it will firm up as it cools. Stir in chopped walnuts or dark chocolate chips before baking for added texture.
