Irresistible Oven-Baked Chocolate Fudge Brownies

Ingredients

- 1 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up as you prepare the brownie batter.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar until smooth. One at a time, beat in the eggs, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

3. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. This helps to remove any lumps and ensures a smooth consistency in your batter.

4. Combine Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

5. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a light layer of butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

6. Transfer Batter & Smooth: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly.

7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached but not wet batter.

8. Cool & Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the dish for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
