Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C) and grease a medium rectangular baking pan.
- 2
Beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is light, pale, and creamy.
- 3
Gradually fold in the flour, mixing continuously to keep the batter smooth.
- 4
Melt the margarine over low heat and stir in the cocoa powder until fully combined into a smooth paste.
- 5
Pour the chocolate mixture into the egg batter, add vanilla extract, and stir until uniform.
- 6
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
- 7
Start checking at 20 minutes — the brownie is done when a firm, slightly shiny crust forms on top.
- 8
Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
Don't overbake — pull it out the moment the crust sets. A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not clean. Dust with powdered sugar or serve warm with vanilla ice cream for an extra-special treat.
