I made these brownies for teachers for Valentine’s day. It’s a very easy recipe. I baked the brownies for 21 min in a 8x8 pan.

Ingredients

Brownie batter

½ cup butter

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon baking powder

 

Frosting:

3 tablespoons butter, softened

3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup confectioners' sugar

Added a little milk because it was too thick

 

Directions

1)     Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square pan.

2)     Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large saucepan. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in 1/3 cup cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder. Spread batter into prepared pan.

3)     Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 25 to 30 minutes (baked 21 min). Let cool briefly before frosting.

4)     To make the frosting: Combine softened butter, confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa, honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir until smooth. Frost brownies while they are still warm.
