Ingredients
½ cup soft unsalted butter
3 oz chocolate, unsweetened, chopped
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
6 tbsp soft unsalted butter
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
⅛ tsp salt
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
5 tbsp milk
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a square baking dish.
Combine the chocolate and butter for the brownies in the microwave for 1 minute.
Stir until the chocolate and melted butter mixture is smooth. Set aside.
Add in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until pale & fully combined.
Carefully pour the melted chocolate into the creamed sugar mixture & mix until combined.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold both the dry & wet mixture together until combined.
Fold the chocolate chips and pour into a greased pan.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the brownies cool completely.
Make the frosting by creaming the butter, cocoa powder, and salt together with a mixer. You can also use a hand whisk, if preferred.
Mix on low to incorporate the powdered sugar.
Add the vanilla and milk slowly until you reach the consistency you want.
Spread the frosting on the brownies and serve.
