Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 325F degrees. Place oven rack at middle position. Butter and flour an 8" cake pan (square or round). Set aside.
  • Melt 2-1 ounce chocolate and 8 Tablespoons butter, using your favorite method (in the microwave or on the stove) and set aside to cool.
  • In a medium bowl, beat 2 eggs until light and fluffy. Add 1 cup sugar and beat until creamy.
  • Add the melted chocolate mixture and mix for about 30 seconds.
  • Whisk 1 teaspoon baking powder into 1 cup flour and add to wet ingredients. Stir just until incorporated and batter is all one color. Don't over stir.
  • If you're adding ½ cup nuts, stir those in last. Pour into 8-inch square or round cake pan.
  • The batter will be quite thick. Spread almost to edge of pan with a rubber spatula.
  • Bake 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with wet crumbs. Don't over bake the brownies.
  • If you want to remove the brownies from the pan, cool for 10 minutes, then cover with the wire rack and invert, tapping a bit to release the brownies. Then gently cover the brownies with a plate and invert again. Cut the brownies into serving size pieces and dust generously with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • If you make the brownies in a round pan, cut the portions like you would if cutting into a pie.
  • Leftover brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days, no refrigeration is necessary.
