To start, gather your ingredients. For the brownie batter, you’ll need:

– 1 cup of unsalted butter
– 2 cups of granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1 cup of all-purpose flour
– 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

For the frosting, you’ll need:

– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1/4 cup of milk
– 3 cups of powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

To make the brownie batter, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×13 inch baking pan. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out with a spatula.

Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan.

While the brownies are cooling, make the frosting. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the cocoa powder and milk. Cook and stir until the mixture is smooth and just begins to boil. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, you can add more milk a teaspoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.

Once the brownies are completely cooled, spread the frosting over the top using a spatula. Allow the frosting to set before cutting the brownies into squares and serving.

These decadent homemade brownies with rich frosting are perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re hosting a party or simply craving a delicious dessert, these brownies are sure to be a hit. So go ahead and treat yourself to a batch of these indulgent treats – you won’t be disappointed!
