Fudgy brownies with cocoa

Fudgy brownies are a classic dessert that combine a rich, deep chocolate flavor with a dense, gooey texture. This recipe uses simple ingredients like cocoa powder and wheat flour to create an indulgent treat that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're looking to satisfy a chocolate craving or impress guests, these brownies are sure to be a hit.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Melt the Butter:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the 1/2 cup of butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the pan from the heat.
3. Combine Butter and Cocoa:
- Stir the 1/2 cup of dry cocoa powder into the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
4. Mix in Sugar:
- Add the 1 cup of sugar to the butter and cocoa mixture. Stir until well mixed.
5. Add Eggs and Vanilla Extract:
- Crack the 2 eggs into the mixture, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Then, stir in the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Incorporate Flour and Salt:
- Gradually add the 1/2 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour and the 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.
7. Pour into Baking Pan:
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
8. Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is fully melted before mixing to help incorporate the cocoa powder more smoothly.

- For an extra fudgy texture, slightly underbake the brownies. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.

- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to get clean, even slices.

- Add a handful of chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra texture and flavor.

- For a unique twist, sprinkle a touch of sea salt on top before baking to enhance the chocolate flavor.

This fudgy brownie recipe is an easy and satisfying way to enjoy a rich chocolate treat. With a perfect balance of cocoa and sweet, these brownies are delicious on their own or with a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy!
