Brownies IV Recipe
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×9 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and 1 1/2 cups of butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour and cocoa powder, stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- To make the frosting: Combine the semisweet chocolate and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth. Spread over brownies when cool.
