How to Make Brownie Cake

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper.

2. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix!

4. Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in the chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.

5. Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

6. Cool & Prepare Ganache (Optional)

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream until warm (not boiling), then pour it over the chocolate chips. Let sit for a minute before stirring until smooth.

7. Frost & Serve

Spread the ganache over the cooled cake, slice, and enjoy!
