Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, and salt until combined.
  3. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl until bubbly but not boiling. Allow it to cool slightly before adding sugar.
  4. Stir the granulated sugar into the melted butter until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until glossy.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let cool before cutting into squares and enjoy warm, perhaps with a scoop of ice cream.
