Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 2½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
Cream the sugar and room temperature butter with the paddle until light and fluffy.
  • 1¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
Whisk the cocoa powder, salt and baking powder together in a small bowl, add to the mixer and mix tentatively.
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 1 whole egg white
Add the eggs and the egg white one at a time, fully incorporating each before the next.
Add the water and beat on high until creamy.
  • ½ cup water
  • 1½ cup all purpose flour
Add the flour and mix minimally, a few cursory folds, so as not to develop too much gluten.
  • vegetable oil
Rub the pan with vegetable oil and line with parchment paper, then spread the batter evenly.
Bake at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted off centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Lift out by the parchment and cool completely on a wire rack, at least one hour.
  • 1 stick butter
  • 2½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ⅓–⅔ cup milk
Cream the butter, sifted powdered sugar, cocoa powder and milk on high about one minute.
Chocolate frosting and sprinkles
  • sprinkles
Frost the cooled brownies liberally and top with sprinkles.
