Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring

Instructions

  1. Prepare your baking pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking and make it easier to lift the brownies after baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mix aside while you combine the wet ingredients.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until the batter is evenly colored and smooth.
  4. Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can lead to dense brownies.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing for clean edges and perfect texture.

Notes

  • Use good quality cocoa powder for deeper flavor.
  • Always sift dry ingredients to prevent lumps and ensure even texture.
  • Watch your baking time carefully to avoid drying out the brownies.
  • Use room temperature eggs and buttermilk for better mixing.
  • Slice brownies only after they have fully cooled to prevent crumbling.
