Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder (for frosting)
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) heavy cream, more if needed
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Pinch of salt (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baseball mitt-shaped brownie pan or line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until just combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture with a spatula until just combined. Batter will be thick and fudgy.
  5. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Tap pan gently to release air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Test doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool brownies completely on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes before frosting.
  8. For frosting, beat softened butter until creamy. Sift in powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Add vanilla, salt, and 2 tablespoons heavy cream. Beat on medium speed until fluffy, adding more cream if needed for spreadable consistency.
  9. Spread frosting evenly over cooled brownies using an offset spatula or butter knife, emphasizing mitt details. Optionally pipe lines to mimic stitching.
  10. Slice brownies following mitt shape or into squares if using a standard pan. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

If frosting is too stiff, soften with a quick 5-second microwave zap. Do not overmix batter to avoid cakey brownies. Let brownies cool completely before frosting to prevent melting. Use Dutch-processed cocoa powder for best flavor. Variations include adding nuts, peanut butter swirl, or fresh raspberries. For dairy-free, substitute vegan butter and coconut cream.
