I’ve been keeping a momentous secret from you. Brownies are one of my specialties, and my stunner of a brownie recipe still hasn’t graced the pages of this blog until today. Sure, five minute brownies are insanely delish & here at my house easy enough to be made exclusively by my husband, but these cocoa brownies are my love.
The recipe isn’t dainty. A small square pan just wouldn’t be enough, so this bakes up a big and beautiful 9×13″ pan of thick, fudgy brownies. I suppose you could cut it into 24 pieces, but if you’re like me, you just want to top that whole pan with vanilla ice cream, grab a fork, and go to town. Need even more incentive to make these chocolate beauties? This recipe may be doubled and baked in a 12 x 17″ sheet pan!
Cocoa Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 c. butter
- 2 c. sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 t. vanilla
- 1 ¼ c. flour
- ¾ c. cocoa
- ½ t. baking powder
- ¼ t. salt
- ⅛ t. coffee grounds or 1T. brewed coffee
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 13 x 9" baking dish.
- Cream butter and sugar until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Combine dry ingredients and pour in on low speed. Mix only until batter is uniform
- Bake 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted removes clean.
Dying over here!!! Is 9:10pm and I can’t make these right now… but will have to tomorrow. Looks delish. Pinning too!
Hope you love the brownies, Ursula. You just can’t go wrong with fudgey chocolate brownies, in my opinion. If you need quick brownies, check out my 5 minute brownie recipe. They’re just as rich with a fraction of the wait. Thanks for visiting!
These look DELICIOUS! I make brownies at least once a week, and my daughter requested them for her birthday today. So, I am going to try your recipe 🙂
I sure would love to be your neighbor if you’ve got brownies around the house every week. Yummy! I sure hope your daughter enjoys her birthday brownies. How wonderful for you that she asks for brownies rather than an extravagant cake for her bday. Chocolate lovers have great taste, right?! Thanks for stopping by, Keri!
Wow, these look so good, nice and fudgey! Definitely essential for a good brownie!
My thoughts exactly! Don’t try to convince this girl with any cakelike brownies. Uh uh!! I love them soft and fudgey with uber rich chocolate flavor.
I just puffy heart love these brownies!! Definitely one of my (many) goodie weakness’!! 🙂
Brownies and chocolate truffle cake pretty much tie in my book for the top sweet. Adding a scoop of coffee ice cream to either is sure to win me over 🙂 Definitely heading over to see you now since I see that you’ve got a “favorite things giveaway” going on. Sounds fun!
