Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
4 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
powdered sugar for dusting, optional
vanilla ice cream for serving, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a 8×12-inch baking dish well.
2. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly so it stays warm but not hot.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thickened, glossy, and slightly lighter in color.
4. Add the vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and salt, then mix until smooth.
5. Pour in the melted butter and stir until fully combined.
6. Add the flour and mix just until no streaks remain.
7. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
8. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is set and crackly but the center is still soft.
9. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
10. Spoon into bowls and serve warm with powdered sugar and vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
Do not overbake this brownie pudding or the center will lose its signature soft, spoonable texture.
