Description
Delicious, rich chocolate brownies topped with creamy, tangy cream cheese frosting, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Melt the butter and mix in the sugar until well combined. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fluffy, and stir in the vanilla extract. Once the brownies are cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. Cut into squares and serve.
