Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Chocolate frosting for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, letting it slowly transform into a velvety pool.
- Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until just combined, ensuring a rich, chocolatey batter.
- Add the peppermint extract, and mix well — the minty essence will awaken your senses!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly, feeling free to sneak a taste of that shiny chocolate goodness.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs — the perfect sign of fudgy greatness.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan, giving those flavors a chance to mingle and deepen.
- Frost with chocolate frosting before serving, adding a final touch of decadence.
