Step-by-Step Instructions for Brownie Bliss
Follow these simple steps to achieve brownie perfection:
Preparing for Success
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect baking environment.
- Prep Your Pan: Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy brownie removal later.
Mixing Magic
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder to eliminate lumps and create a light, fluffy texture.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until creamy and well combined.
- Blend Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your brownies tender.
Baking Brilliance
- Transfer to Pan: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan using a spatula.
- Bake to Perfection: Pop your creation into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for that perfect fudgy texture.
Serving Up Delight
- Cool and Cut: Let your brownies cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before slicing. For neat cuts, use a sharp knife and clean it between each cut
