Ingredients for Chocolate Brownie Recipe

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• ½ cup cocoa powder

• ½ cup butter (melted)

• 2 eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla essence

• ½ tsp baking powder

• ½ cup dark chocolate (melted)

• A pinch of salt

• Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Chocolate Brownie Recipe

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking tray and line it with butter paper.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Add vanilla essence and melted dark chocolate.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures a smooth batter without lumps.

Step 4: Prepare the Batter

Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix gently (do not overmix). Add walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.

Step 5: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared tray and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes. Insert a toothpick — it should come out slightly moist for fudgy brownies.

Step 6: Cool & Serve

Let brownies cool completely before cutting into squares.

Tips for Perfect Fudgy Brownies

✔ Do not overbake – it makes brownies dry.
✔ Use good quality dark chocolate.
✔ Let brownies rest before cutting.
✔ For extra richness, add chocolate chunks inside the batter.
