Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) butter
- 1 cup (200g) sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (50g) hot cocoa mix
- 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 square baking pan or line with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar and eggs until smooth.
- Add the hot cocoa mix, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until combined and velvety.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to form a thick batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool before cutting and serving.
Notes
- For extra richness, add a handful of chocolate chips to the batter.
- To mimic a hot cocoa experience, drizzle with melted chocolate or top with whipped cream or marshmallows.
